CROP YIELD SURVEY RESULTS IN
The Fayette County Farm Bureau completed the 28th annual Fayette County Crop Survey and announced the results Tuesday evening. Teams of surveyors consisted of Farm Bureau Members, Local Banking Officials, Agribusiness Representatives, and local News Media. A total of 4 teams surveyed Fayette County on August 31, 2010. The results were tabulated and released that day by the Fayette County Farm Bureau. The Fayette County Corn Crop resulted in an average yield of 158.70 bushels per acre with samplings ranging between 94 bushels to 200 bushels per acre. The yields were up from the 2009 average, 149.97 bushels per acre. The soybean crop had an average yield of 41.48 bushels per acre with samplings ranging between 31 bushels to 65 bushels per acre. The soybean yields were up from the 2009 average of 33.54 bushels per acre.The survey results showed yield damage due to insects and late planting, and we still need time without frost for soybeans to fully mature. The surveyors said corn harvest has begun and soybean harvest will start between late September and will be in full swing by October.We want to thank all of the 15 participants of the 4teams who surveyed the fields of Fayette County.
