While the USDA Farm Services Agency may have a specific number "on the books" for each program crop such as corn, soybeans, wheat, or cotton, only the farmer and the agent can really put a true number to it.
The best way to find crop residue quantity is to go out to at least four separate representative areas of the field, mark off very specific areas, say, 20 feet by 20 feet, count and weigh the residue in those areas, and then multiply it out to give a field-wide average. It's generally best to seek assistance from your county agent.

How many kgs of maize can be harvested in an acre of land?

What is yield equivalent value of different crops?
Yield equivalent value refers to the comparison of different crops based on their productivity and economic returns per unit area. It allows farmers and agricultural economists to evaluate the profitability of various crops by factoring in both the quantity produced and market prices. For instance, a crop that produces a higher yield per acre but has a lower market price may have a lower yield equivalent value compared to a crop with a lower yield but a higher market price. This concept helps in making informed decisions about crop selection and resource allocation in farming.
1 acre of wheat will feed how many people?
The average figure for one acre of farmland is 1/8 person per acre, however this is an average of all commoditites such as corn, wheat, rice, oats, barley, cattle, sheep, hogs, fruits, vegetables, etc. Also keep in mind that wheat is not an entire peron's diet, but wheat, a medium yielding crop, at an average of 80 bushels to the acre and a test weight of 60 pounds per when at 13.5% moisture, a bushel can produce 4800 pounds per acre.
How many bushels of field corn seed does it take to plant one acre of crop land?
Most farmers in the U.S. plant field corn by the seed count, not by the bushel. However, since most farmers plant somewhere around 30,000 seeds per acre, you can figure the bushels thus: 30,000 seeds divide by 2,000 seeds per pound equals about 15 pounds divided by 56 pounds of corn per bushel equals about 1/4 bushel per acre. There are a great many factors, including seed germination percentage, which could change that figure.
How do you calculate fertilizer requirement in drip?
To calculate fertilizer requirements for drip irrigation, first determine the crop's nutrient needs based on soil tests and crop growth stages. Next, calculate the amount of fertilizer needed per acre or hectare by considering the nutrient content of the fertilizers available. Then, adjust for application frequency and the efficiency of the drip system, taking into account factors like leaching and absorption. Finally, convert these requirements into the volume of fertilizer solution needed for the drip system, ensuring uniform distribution to the plants.

What is per row crop acre?
Per row crop acre refers to the measurement of crop production or yield based on a single acre of land planted with row crops, such as corn, soybeans, or cotton. It typically indicates the amount of a specific crop harvested from that acre, expressed in units like bushels, tons, or pounds. This metric helps farmers and agronomists assess productivity, plan for future planting, and compare performance across different fields or farming practices.
