September Predicted Corn Yields (bu/ac)*
CIBO National Corn Yield Estimate: 182 (bu/ac)
The biggest impacts to corn yield predictions in 2020 are the less than ideal planting conditions this spring and the derecho event in August. The overall weather conditions have been ideal for bumper crops. If we hadn’t had either of these two events, we would be predicting record yields throughout the corn-growing region.
*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.
September Estimated Corn Planting Dates
The CIBO crop inference engine uses satellite imagery to estimate the planting date of crops for parcels across the corn belt. We adopt cutting edge machine learning techniques to learn patterns from image and crop data, resulting in rich statistical models which we use to generate agricultural information at a large scale, such as the county median planting dates for corn parcels in the corn belt shown here.

September Predicted Soybean Yields (bu/ac)*
National Soybean Yield Estimate: 54.0 (bu/ac)
The biggest impacts to soy yield predictions in 2020 are the less than ideal planting conditions this spring and the derecho event in August. The overall weather conditions have been ideal for bumper crops. If we hadn’t had either of these two events, we would be predicting record yields throughout the corn-growing region.

September Predicted Cotton Yields (lb/ac lint)*
Weather conditions in the cotton growing regions have been drier than normal, especially in West Texas. These dry conditions in the early part of the growing season resulted in delays in planting and delayed or stunted germination. The dry conditions despite irrigation in some cotton growing locations are resulting in yields that are at or below USDA averages.

September County-Level Yield Forecast Infographic
Each month the USDA releases the WASDE to help understand at a national level how agricultural land will perform. These national numbers help provide an understanding of what is happening but CIBO enables you to zoom down to a field, county and state level to find out how local conditions affect yield. Learning which counties might have higher-than-anticipated yields allows you to plan your own harvest, including pricing, capacity, and supply-chain considerations across counties. Let CIBO’s county-level models help you make informed decisions for your farm and agribusiness. Compared to the USDA’s ten-year average, CIBO models currently predict the following yield percentage increases:
Minnesota McLeod County
Illinois McLean County
Iowa Boone County
Indiana Decatur County
Nebraska Lincoln County
Missouri Monroe County
Mississippi Humphreys County
Illinois Champaign County
Iowa Bremer County
Indiana Jasper County
Alabama Madison County
Mississippi Coahoma County
Texas Lubbock County
Arizona Pinal County
Texas Nueces County

CIBO blends comprehensive weather data with state-of-the-art seasonal predictions to simulate weather scenarios for the upcoming planting season, helping you make smarter decisions for your farm or agribusiness. CIBO delivers objective, science-driven intelligence about land at the parcel level, at a national scale and without requiring local data to be input by farmers. This information drives efficiencies in land and related markets by connecting participants to objective information, and to each other.
Uncover County-Level Yield and Field Insights by Downloading CIBO's September County-Level Crop Yield Forecast.
Download the Report 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.
Our forecasts are run through our breakthrough modeling and simulation technology. To understand what this means to you, please click here.
