U.S. Ojective Yield Data for Soybean - Nov 2015
Soybean Objective Yield Data
The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield
surveys in 11 soybean-producing States during 2015. Randomly selected plots
in soybean fields are visited monthly from August through harvest to obtain
specific counts and measurements. Data in these tables are actual field
counts from this survey.
