We recently asked what farmers were expecting for crop yields this year. The poll so far shows that most are expecting to see 50-75% of what their usual average yield is. Some will see little to no yield in the middle of the Corn Belt, while those to the north are expecting a little closer to average. We put together some maps and data to show what farmers are expecting around the Corn Belt. These numbers are taken from the poll comments. If you have an estimation, leave a comment here and we'll add it to our maps. 

Take the poll and leave a comment, too!
