Now in its 29th year, the Pro Farmer Crop Tour provides a dirty boots, market-moving update for corn and soybean crops as they head into the stretch run of the growing season.
Crop Tour’s data-gathering methods are disciplined and time tested, producing consistent results. The Tour’s crop scouts, especially the new ones, receive formal instruction before the Tour and training from Tour veterans along the way. Results from the Tour have a big impact on Pro Farmer’s annual crop production estimate released at week’s end. But observations gathered during the Tour can be just as important as the data itself.
In 2021, Pro Farmer Crop Tour gives you the opportunity to select your Tour stop or watch online from wherever you are.
Register and attend nightly meetings in person or watch the nightly broadcast live at 7 p.m. each night where you’ll receive daily results, scouting observations and historical comparison data from our tour leaders.
