The Gro Intelligence US corn yield model estimate has dropped slightly again from 172.7 bu/ac (or 10.84 t/ha) to 172.6 bu/ac (or 10.83 t/ha). USDA validated the model’s bearish tendency in yesterday’s WASDE. Knowing our model as we do, we don’t expect any further significant changes in our estimate. Therefore, we will end this series of comments for 2017, barring an unexpectedly large change in the model estimate or some other notable event.

Thank you for your interest in Gro’s US corn yield model. The estimate will continue to update daily on our data platform. Subscribers currently have access to an Argentine soy model built with the same methodology. They will also see our forthcoming machine-learning-based models of other interesting area/crop combinations. Please don’t hesitate to post on our yield model forum with any questions or contact us at yieldmodel@gro-intelligence.com if you’re interested in learning more about our forecasts or data platform.
