WASHINGTON - Sep 12/22 - SNS -- This year's corn harvest in the United States is expected to reach 13.9 billion bushels, the seventh highest production on record for the United States, according to the USDA's latest production forecast.
The forecasted yield, at 172.5 bushels per acre, is down 3% from last year's final estimate of a record high 177.0 bushels per acre. Record high yields are forecast in California, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Acreage updates were made in several States based on a thorough review of all available data. Total planted area, at 88.6 million acres, is down 1% from the previous estimate and down 5% from 2021. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 80.8 million acres, down 1% from the previous forecast and down 5% from last year.
