Functions and Constants
Measures of Corn Yield
Sample Area The size of the sample area (in acres) used to estimate corn yield is calculated as:

area = 2 * rows * length * width / 43560

where rows = number of corn rows in the sample area
length= length of each row in feet
width = width of each row in feet
Dry Weight of Corn The dry weight (in pounds) is the weight of the corn kernels without the moisture content.
Dry weight is calculated as:

dry weight = weight * (1 - moisture)

where weight = weight of the corn in pounds
moisture = percentage of the corn weight due to moisture
Market Weight The market weight (in pounds) of corn used to determine the market price is calculated as:

standard weight = dry weight / (1 - 0.155)

where dry weight = dry weight of the corn
Bushels To convert the standard weight of corn to bushels, use the formula:
bushels = standard weight / 56

Measures of Corn Growth

GDD The Growing Degree Day or GDD measures the growth of a crop in response to changing
temperature. GDD is calculated using the formula:

GDD = (Tmin + Tmax) / 2 - Base

where Tmin = minimum daily temperature (°F)
Tmax = maximum daily temperature (°F)
base = baseline temperature (°F) for the crop
Note that Tmin and Tmax cannot be lower or higher than a set value. For corn, Tmin cannot
be lower than 50 and Tmax cannot be higher than 86.
