Soybean Planted Acres by State
The USDA NASS makes a wealth of data available. CropProphet uses a wide range of historical USDA NASS data to create the CropProphet corn, soybean, and winter wheat yield and production forecasts.
Our yield and production forecasting methodology is similar for both corn and soybeans. A recent post discussed the fact that forecasts corn production is a function of planted acres and yield. Soybeans are, of course, no different. In this post, we provide a history of the state rankings of soybean planted acres by state from 2000 to 2019. In 2019, 76.1 million acres of soybeans were planted in the United States, as shown below. Of that 67.1 million planted acres of soybean in 2019, Illinois planted the greatest acreage at just under 10 million acres or 13% of the national total.
The information below provides the ranking of soybean planted acres by state for each year from 2000 to 2019.
