Future Crop Prices and Quantities: Influence of Alternative Crop Yields [PDF]
North Central Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1985 Many people have tried to analyze what the future holds for continued increases in crop yields. After studying time series of average U.S. yields for 19 crops, Lin and Seaver [6] concluded that 12 crops including corn, cotton, and wheat have reached yield plateau, and the seven remaining crops including hay and soybeans yields have had a slowdown in ...
