Corn's unexpected turnaround predicted by Gro

Last year, Gro Intelligence made a bold prediction about corn yields. Their prediction was lower than most other estimates, but it turned out to be more accurate. 

This highlights Gro's unique strength: melding data analytics with traditional farming wisdom. 2023 started with its fair share of farming challenges, from drought conditions to inconsistencies, casting shadows of doubt over the corn yield. 

Yet, Gro Intelligence offers a ray of hope. Their recent Digital Yield Tour pegged the corn yield at a promising 177.0 bpa as of Aug. 8. Particularly noteworthy were the yield numbers for Illinois (197.3 bpa) and Nebraska (189.5 bpa) - states that had difficult beginnings to the crop season. 

These numbers are better than expected and suggest that we could have a record corn yield this year. With everyone eagerly awaiting USDA's in-depth reports for a clearer picture, Gro's data-driven insights stand as a beacon of accuracy and optimism. 

Gro Intelligence's method of combining data analysis with on-the-ground knowledge is the best way to predict crop yields in modern agriculture.
