Determing Yields

To determine crop yields the farmer will weigh at least one load coming out of the field, then keep track of how many loads that are harvested from that field.

Example: one load= 20 tons

# of loads= 45 loads

field size= 42 acres

yield tons/acre = ?

20 tons x 45 loads= 900 tons

900 tons/42 acres = 21.43 tons/acre
