Corn Yield Calculator

Estimate corn yield in bushels per acre.

Calculated Output

Yield (bu/acre) 160

Formula: yield = ears × kernels per ear ÷ kernels per bushel

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Ears per acre = 30,000

3. Kernels per ear = 480

4. Kernels per bushel = 90,000

6. Ears per acre x Kernels per ear = 30,000 x 480 = 14,400,000

7. Yield = (Ears per acre x Kernels per ear) / Kernels per bushel = 14,400,000 / 90,000 = 160bu/acre

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

yield (bu/acre) = ears per acre × kernels per ear ÷ kernels per bushel (~90,000).

30,000 × 480 ÷ 90,000 → 160 bu/acre.

Kernels per bushel?

Varies with size/moisture: 85,000–95,000 is typical.
