In this episode of Unscripted, Tyne Morgan and Clinton Griffiths sit down with Chip Flory for a deep dive into the Crop Tour process. Flory explains how yield estimates for corn and soybeans are calculated, refined, and kept independent from USDA data, stressing the value of year-over-year comparisons for tracking trends. The conversation explores the impact of Southern Rust in Iowa, regional yield variability, and broader market challenges—from commodity pricing to farmer frustrations with USDA projections.
