Mississippi corn, soybean & wheat yield by year

Name: Mississippi corn, soybean & wheat yield by year, 2010–2026
Creator: AGSIST

USDA NASS state yield estimates for Mississippi, annual (end-of-season) figures only: corn (2010–2025, n = 16), soybeans (2010–2025, n = 16), winter wheat (2010–2026, n = 17). Every figure below is a USDA NASS number for the year shown; nothing is estimated or filled in by AGSIST. Source files updated Oct 6, 2026.

Current season, kept out of the table above. USDA NASS figures from AGSIST’s state crop file (data/state-stats.json), with that file’s own label:

corn 191 bu/ac; soybeans 61 bu/ac — 2026 crop · USDA NASS in-season forecast

A forecast changes month to month and is not comparable with the annual estimates in the table.

Mississippi yield by year

Newest first. Bushels per acre; planted acres in millions. Source: USDA NASS Quick Stats, state level. — means NASS published no figure for that year; “pending” means NASS has not yet released that crop year’s annual estimate (corn and soybeans come out in January).

Top Mississippi counties by 2025 corn yield

USDA NASS county corn-for-grain yield, 2025, all practices. NASS published a 2025 figure for 32 of the 82 counties in the Atlas; counties without a published figure are not ranked. The last column compares with the Mississippi state yield of 180 bu/ac.

1	Sharkey County	209	+29
2	Issaquena County	205.5	+25.5
3	Bolivar County	199.7	+19.7

How these numbers are made. Yields and planted acres are USDA NASS Quick Stats state estimates, pulled with the reference period pinned to the full year, so in-season monthly forecasts never enter the table. Highest and lowest are over the published years shown, not all-time records. Averages are plain means of the published years in the stated window, printed with how many years they rest on (withheld below 3 of 5 or 6 of 10). The trend is an ordinary least-squares line through every published year (at least 8); it describes the past window and is not a forecast. County figures are NASS county corn yields, all practices, as carried by the AGSIST Farmland Atlas. Wheat here is winter wheat only (NASS “WHEAT, WINTER”); spring wheat and durum are not included. AGSIST’s NASS pull carries no state winter wheat planted-acres series, so no wheat acres column is shown.
