For corn, harvested acres projected based on historical abandonment and use for silage. The yield projection is based on a weather-adjusted trend assuming normal mid-May planting progress and summer growing season weather, estimated using the 1988-2020 time period, and includes a downward stochastic adjustment to account for the asymmetric response of yield to July precipitation. | |||||
