Estimated Corn Yield Calculator
 Making plans for storage and marketing of the corn crop often calls for
estimating yields before the crop is harvested. Estimating corn yields is done by
counting the number of ears per acre and the number of kernels per ear, then multiplying
these two numbers to get an estimate of the number of kernels per acre. Next, we
divide by an average number of kernels in a normal bushel(90k) to get the estimated yield
in bushels per acre.
