CropProphet provides weather-based soybean (and corn) yield and production forecasts.  Our crop yield and production forecast model is based on county-level data and analysis but we focus on providing the most accurate possible national-level forecast of corn and soybean production.  We are often asked, “What counties produce the most soybeans?”

In other words, we help grain traders, grain merchandisers, and discretionary and systematic commodity traders manage weather risk by quantifying the impact of weather on grain crops.  A wide range of grain commodity traders seize grain market trading opportunities using CropProphet by knowing the differences between market perceptions of corn production and our accurate forecast.  As the market perception corrects towards the CropProphet forecasts corn prices change. Our customers have an information advantage in the grain market.

Knowing the impact of weather on national grain yield is hard.  We make it easy.

Discover the benefits of CropProphet now.

The information below provides the top soybean-producing counties for each year from 2000-2020.  You can also view soybean production rankings by state or an overview of understanding US crop production.
