October Predicted Corn Yields (bu/ac)*
CIBO National Corn Yield Estimate: 168Â (bu/ac)
The 2021 growing season started out well, with excellent conditions throughout the corn-growing region, allowing crops to get in the ground early. With crop development entering a crucial stage of yield determination in June, significant rainfall (> 8 inches more than normal) was observed in the midwest and the southeastern United States, which was good news for the primary corn and soybean growing areas. Many areas had rainfall less than normal for September impacting some crop development during the final days and weeks of development, but allowing for farmers to get in the field and harvest when crops are ready.
*We are showing yields for counties which typically plant at least 25,000 acres of corn based on the past ten years of crop acreage data from the USDA Farm Service Agency.
October Predicted Soybean Yields (bu/ac)*
National Soybean Yield Estimate: 51.0 (bu/ac)
The 2021 growing season started out well, with excellent conditions throughout the corn-growing region, allowing crops to get in the ground early. With crop development entering a crucial stage of yield determination in June, significant rainfall (> 8 inches more than normal) was observed in the midwest and the southeastern United States, which was good news for the primary corn and soybean growing areas. Many areas had rainfall less than normal for September impacting some crop development during the final days and weeks of development, but allow for farmers to get in the field and harvest when crops are ready. Additional rainfall was observed along the coast during September. Impact of Hurricane Ida still remains the largest unknown in the Mississippi Delta region.
*We are showing yields for counties that typically plant at least 25,000 acres of soybeans based on the past ten years of crop acreage data from the USDA Farm Service Agency.
October Predicted Cotton Yields (lb/ac lint)*
National Cotton Yield Estimate: 1126.0 (lb/ac lint)
Ample rainfall in the southwestern U.S. and along the Gulf Coast has resulted in good growing conditions for cotton in 2021. Rainfall in Arizona in July from the North American Monsoons helped offset the extreme temperatures in June and decrease the level of drought. Cotton crops were in the boll and open-boll stages when Hurricane Ida made landfall. The hurricane-force winds were likely to blow the cotton bolls off the plants, resulting in loss of yield. The exact impact is still to be determined. We expect to see decreases in yields throughout Louisiana and Mississippi, into Tennessee.
*We are showing yields for counties that typically plant at least 3,000 acres of cotton based on the past ten years of crop acreage data from the USDA Farm Service Agency.

CIBO leverages agronomic simulations to generate forecasts.
CIBO delivers the capability to gain forecasting insight on agricultural land performance on a county by county and field by field level. Users can blend observed weather data with state-of-the-art seasonal predictions to simulate a range of possible weather scenarios for the new planting season. The platform uses agronomic simulations to predict crop development, from planting to harvest, under a variety of forecast weather scenarios and management strategies.
The USDA regularly announces national yield insights. Those national reports tell you what will likely happen, CIBO’s capability is the first to tell you where and why it is likely to happen. This insight creates new opportunities for actionable and hyper-local farming, agribusiness, sustainability and trading decision-making.
