4.125 acres.
493 x 0.3=147.9 acres.
Between the two states listed; Nebraska, with 10 million acres planted in 2012, as opposed to PA with only 1.4 million acres planted in 2012. However, NE is only in third place; Illinois planted 12.8 million acres, and Iowa planted 14.2 million acres.
More corn was planted in the US in 1928 than in 1998.1928 - 100,399,000 acres - avg. yield 26.3 bushels per acre1998 - 80,165,000 acres - avg. yield 134.4 bushels per acre
The average bushel yield per acre of corn in the United States is 158.8 bushels. One hundred acres of corn would yield 15880 bushels.
Iowa farmers planted 13.6 million acres of corn in 2009, yielding 2.42 billion bushels of grain and 4.84 million tons of corn silage.
To determine the optimal planting strategy, we need to set up a system of equations. Let x be the number of days Dean plants corn and y be the number of days he plants soybeans. The total acres planted for corn is 250x and for soybeans is 200y. The total acres planted cannot exceed 4500, so the constraint is 250x + 200y ≤ 4500. With 20 days available, the time constraint is x + y ≤ 20. These two constraints can be used to find the maximum acres of corn and soybeans Dean can plant in 20 days.
Sorghum, which has competed with corn as a primary livestock feed, yielded only 50.7 bushels per acres in 2002, compared to 72.6 bushels per acre in 1992. Growers planted 9.5 million acres in 2002, compared to the 13,177 acres planted a decade earlier.
less productive because legumes remove phosphorus from the soil
Corn and most other plants are generally planted in dirt.
