The average Kansas farm size has increased by an average of roughly 25 acres in that time. With bigger farms, and fewer farmers, Kansas agriculture is dependent on mechanized farming.
It is also used to describe average yields. Normal production would be the normal crop acreage planted multiplied by the normal yield. These measures, once required by commodity programs to calculate benefits, are replaced by base acres, payment acres, and payment yield under the 2002 farm bill (P.L. 101-171, Sec. 1101-1102).

After the war years, there were four "best" years (1945–1948) when the average annual production peaked at 1,228 million bushels, double the production of the war years. [9] In 2002, 50% of the U.S. wheat crop was exported, while 36% was consumed by the American population, and 10% was fed to livestock, with the remaining 4% set aside for seed.
That annual rate is trending below overall inflation (which accelerated to 2.7% last month) and landed at an average seen during 2008-2019, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows.
Dryland farming caused a large dust storm in parts of Eastern Washington on October 4, 2009. Courtesy: NASA/GSFC, MODIS Rapid Response [1]. Dryland farming has evolved as a set of techniques and management practices to adapt to limited availability of water, as in the Western US and other regions affected by climate change for crops such as tomato and maize.
Milo was issued a post office in 1872. The post office was discontinued in 1938. [2] The 1912 cyclopedia of Kansas describes Milo as a "country trading point" on Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, with "2 stores, an express office, and a money order postoffice with one rural route." It reported the 1910 population to be 50 people.
