# Higher grain yields predominate in the heart of the corn belt.

> A Farmdoc study using 2015 to 2019 crop reporting district data shows the highest corn and soybean yields in the central Corn Belt. It also compares corn-to-soybean yield ratios across regions, which shape acreage decisions.

## Why it matters

Yield ratios influence planting choices between corn and soybeans in future seasons, which can affect supply expectations. The report has little immediate price impact.
