Montana 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 Montana counties by 2025 corn yield

Not enough county figures to rank: NASS published a 2025 county corn yield for 0 Montana counties in the Farmland Atlas data (at least 3 needed).

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.
