IF the farmer:

  • uses good seed genetics for his area, and
  • has the soil at an optimal fertility level, and
  • uses good pest control techniques, and
  • has optimal water supplies, either through irrigation or natural precipitation, and
  • plants the seed at optimal populations of 27,000 to 30,000 plants per acre,

then he can expect to harvest 150 to 200 bushels of grain per acre.
