Default Field Crop Yields

Attached is a file with the yields in pounds per acre (and kg/ha) for most field crops. Hemp is on the list, along with 'southern' crops such as cotton, tobacco, sugarcane, peanuts. In the notes area, there is given the 'average' percent oil content for oil seeds, and tow yield for fiber crops as well as other information pretaining for that crop. This information was initally gleaned from the first edition of Field Crops, published some time in the 40's with most of the data pre ww2. I think it's a pretty good rule of thumb. Hope it helps ya.

Note this is not an all inclusive list, and yields vary with variety and locations. These were NATIONAL averages of crops harvested, not planted from what I could determine. Note the difference of yields from that in the first file. For example with potato.
