Subject: Kernal Size also skewed yield estimates



It' not like they were way off on the estimates. At least I don't think they were way off. The Kernal size makes a big differance this year. The location of the field that the survey was taken makes a major impact. I know of fields in my area that if I sent five people out to do an yield extimate they all come back with estimates 10 Bu acre or more apart. The USDA could almost get just as close of an estimate by going on surface maps and past history of rainfall and history of planting dates and Temperature data. Anyway, I don't think theyre're doing to bad of a job.
