Formulas For Estimating Wheat Yields

1) Bushels = (Heads) x (spikelets) x (2.3) (divided by row space) (per foot) (per head) (in inches) x 0.48 Per Acre
2) Bushels Per Acre of Hard Red Spring Wheat = kernels per head x heads in 3 ft x 0.0319
3) Bushels Per Acre of Durum = kernels per head x heads in 3 ft x 0.0377
4) Bushels Per Acre of Barley = kernels per head x heads in 3 ft x 0.0389

Formulas 2, 3, and 4 are for 7" row spacing and three foot of row (For 6" spacing, multiply final answers above by factor of 1.17)

Examples above are based on three foot row sample.
