Crop Consultant Dr. Michael Cordonnier cut his corn yield forecast by 3 bu. to 170 bpa amid the continued decline in crop condition ratings, persistent dry conditions in areas of the western Corn Belt & confirmation of lower yields from recent crop tours, including ours. #pfnews

These guys follow a proprietary model with multiple variables. Most folks’ “guesstimates” are based on biased inputs most of the time 😉 This is one of the few that are not Much respect for their work 🤙🏻 Disclosure: My own *guess* is a 170-173 *final* yield #corn #harvest22
Finally some good developments from the yield model. Today's #corn yield forecast has risen to 170.7 bpa

I don’t disagree with you Duane. I’m more in the 172-175 camp than in the sun 172 camp. However, I like Graincast’s neutral approach & respect their work, so can’t discount it, even though I don’t see eye to eye currently.

I haven't felt so good the last couple of days and have dropped the ball on my #DownSyndromeAwarenessMonth sharing. If dad drops the ball on the court, dad generally loses. #Downsyndrome doesn't stop us from having plenty of father-son competitions.
