Iowa is mostly not irrigated.


Across the heart corn belt (iowa/illinois/indiana) we see 200+ bu/ac yields for corn consistently and majority of fields are rain-fed (non-irrigated). Hell in 2014/2015 some people around me (champaign IL) were hitting 220/230. Illinois has some of the most productive soils in the world though, we are lucky!


That nice black Illinois topsoil. Some good stuff.
