Illinois Harvest Projections

Monday, 18 September 2017

As the harvest gets underway, soybean production is expected to see record numbers this fall.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is predicting soybean production to increase 1 percent, or 6 million bushels compared to last year.

Farmers are expected to harvest less corn this year at just over 2 billion bushels. 

That said, the U.S.D.A. still estimates the corn projection would be the third highest on record in Illinois.
