U.S. Soybean Objective Yield Data - Jan 2023
Soybean Objective Yield Data The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducted an objective yield survey in 11 soybean producing States during 2022. Randomly selected plots in soybean fields were visited monthly from September through harvest to obtain specific counts and measurements. Data in these tables are actual field counts from this survey.
