In agriculture, the yield is a measurement of the amount of a crop grown, or product such as wool, meat or milk produced, per unit area of land. The seed ratio is another way of calculating yields. Innovations, such as the use of fertilizer , the creation of better farming tools, new methods of farming and improved crop varieties , have ...
The combine grain yield monitor is a device coupled with other sensors to calculate and record the crop yield or grain yield as a modern-day combine harvester operates. Yield monitors are a part of the precision agriculture products available to producers today that provide producers with the tools to reduce costs, increase yields, and increase efficiency.
The US is the world's largest producer of corn. [8] According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the average U.S. yield for corn was 177 bushels per acre, up 3.3 percent over 2020 and a record high, with 16 states posting state records in output, and Iowa reporting a record of 205 bushels of corn per acre.
In 1995 the USDA released a report stating that the net energy balance of corn ethanol in the United States was an average of 1.24. It was previously considered to have a negative net energy balance. However, due to increases in corn crop yield and more efficient farming practices corn ethanol had gained energy efficiency. [3]
Agricultural productivity is measured as the ratio of agricultural outputs to inputs. [1] While individual products are usually measured by weight, which is known as crop yield , varying products make measuring overall agricultural output difficult.
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Damian Williams, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who secured convictions of high-profile defendants including U.S. Senator Bob Menendez and crypto mogul Sam Bankman ...
This can be intercropping of annual crops (e.g. sorghum and pigeonpea) [1] or combination of annual and perennial crops e.g. in agroforestry systems (e.g. jackfruit and eggplant). [3] It is also possible to calculate LERs for combinations of plant and non-plant yields, e.g. in agrivoltaic systems. [4]
An inflation report in the coming week will test the strength of the record-setting U.S. stocks rally and provide a crucial piece of data that could factor into the Federal Reserve's plans for ...
