Virginia corn, soybean & wheat yield by year

USDA NASS state yield estimates for Virginia, 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:A forecast changes month to month and is not comparable with the annual estimates in the table.

Top Virginia counties by 2025 corn yield

USDA NASS county corn-for-grain yield, 2025, all practices. NASS published a 2025 figure for 36 of the 133 counties in the Atlas; counties without a published figure are not ranked. The last column compares with the Virginia state yield of 168 bu/ac.

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.
