Corn is a major field crop in New York State with more than 1 million acres planted annually. Typically, grain corn (including dry-shelled and high-moisture) represents 55% of the acreage, whereas corn silage represents the remaining 45% of the acreage. Recently, corn has been a very profitable crop to grow because of relatively high yields as well as high prices received by farmers.
âAs of Oct. 2, Virginia farmers had harvested 63 percent of the corn crop for grain.â. Corn production in Virginia was forecast at 53.7 million bushels, up 11 percent from the previous crop. Yield was estimated at 158 bushels per acre, down 3 bushels from the 2015 level. Acres for harvest as grain were estimated at 340,000 acres, up 40,000 acres from 2015.
