(WEST LAFAYETTE) - Hoosier farmers are set to see record crop yields this year.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, soybean and corn yields will be at an all-time high for Hoosier farmers.
Studies estimate Hoosier farmers will bring in 194 bushels of corn per acre.
Purdue University agricultural economist Chris Hurt told WLFI that these numbers are well above initial estimates.
With better yields comes more money. This year, Hoosier farmers could see an additional $60 to $70 in revenue per acre for corn and soybeans.
