2024 Yield Survey Results

 The Clinton County Farm Bureau (CFB) completed its annual Yield Survey of the county’s corn crop on Wednesday, September 11th. A total of 5 teams of surveyors consisting of Farm Bureau members, Agri-business representatives, and Ag students from Wesclin and Carlyle High Schools surveyed Clinton County for the annual yield check. 

The county was divided into 5 areas with 10 samples taken in each area.

 Average corn yields calculated for each area are summarized in the table that accompanies this article.

Corn samplings ranged from a low of 52 to a high of 244 bushels per acre, with an overall county average calculated to be 188.27 bu./acre. The committee did not attempt to make an estimate on soybeans, but instead made more general observations of pod counts and conditions that indicated an overall average soybean crop for 2024.
