U.S. Soybean Objective Yield Data - 2024
Soybean Objective Yield Data
The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducted an objective yield
survey in 11 soybean producing States during 2024. Randomly selected plots in
soybean fields were visited monthly from September through harvest to obtain
specific counts and measurements. Data in these tables are actual field
counts from this survey.
