Crop Yield per Hectare Calculator
Calculate harvested crop yield in metric tons per hectare (t/ha), kg/ha, US bushels per acre equivalents, and gross revenue per hectare.
Calculate Crop Yield per Hectare
Enter total harvested metric tons, field hectares, and crop type to compute metric crop yield density.
Calculation Results
Calculated using international metric agricultural standards: \text{Yield (t/ha)} = \frac{\text{Total Metric Tons}}{\text{Harvested Hectares}}
Quick Summary
The Crop Yield per Hectare Calculator evaluates global metric crop productivity ($\text{Yield}_{\text{t/ha}} = \frac{\text{Total Metric Tons}}{\text{Hectares}}$) in metric tonnes per hectare (t/ha), kg/ha, US bu/acre equivalents, and gross revenue per hectare.
Formula Explanation
\text{Yield per Hectare (t/ha)} = \frac{\text{Total Metric Tons}}{\text{Harvested Hectares}}
\text{Yield in Kilograms per Hectare (kg/ha)} = \text{Yield (t/ha)} \times 1,000
\text{US Equivalent (bu/acre)} = \frac{\text{Yield (kg/ha)} \times 0.404686}{0.453592 \times \text{Lbs per Bushel}}How It Works
In international agricultural trade (UK, Canada, Europe, Australia, South America), crop yields are measured in metric tonnes per hectare (t/ha) or kg/ha. The Crop Yield per Hectare Calculator divides total harvested tonnes by hectares, converting seamlessly between metric t/ha and US customary bushels per acre.
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Practical Problem: A UK farmer harvests 400 metric tonnes of winter wheat from a 50-hectare field sold at $260/tonne. Calculate yield in t/ha, kg/ha, and equivalent US bu/acre.
- Step 1: Metric yield per hectare: $400 / 50 = \mathbf{8.00\text{ t/ha}}$.
- Step 2: Kilograms per hectare: $8.00 \times 1,000 = \mathbf{8,000\text{ kg/ha}}$.
- Step 3: US bushel per acre conversion: $(8,000 \times 0.404686) / (0.453592 \times 60) = 3237.49 / 27.2155 = \mathbf{118.9\text{ bu/acre}}$.
- Step 4: Revenue per hectare: $8.00 \times \$260 = \mathbf{\$2,080\text{ per hectare}}$.
- Step 5: Total field gross revenue: $400 \times \$260 = \mathbf{\$104,000\text{ total revenue}}$.
Real-World Calculation Examples
Scenario 1: European High-Yield Wheat
Parameters: 450 tonnes, 50 ha, $260/ton
Result: 9.00 t/ha (9,000 kg/ha, 133.8 bu/acre). Top European wheat yield.
Scenario 2: Canadian Canola Field
Parameters: 120 tonnes, 40 ha, $650/ton
Result: 3.00 t/ha (3,000 kg/ha, 53.5 bu/acre). High-yielding canola.
Scenario 3: Brazilian Soybean Crop
Parameters: 200 tonnes, 50 ha, $450/ton
Result: 4.00 t/ha (4,000 kg/ha, 59.5 bu/acre). Brazilian Cerrado soybean yield.
Scenario 4: Argentine Maize (Corn)
Parameters: 500 tonnes, 50 ha, $200/ton
Result: 10.00 t/ha (10,000 kg/ha, 159.3 bu/acre). Commercial corn yield.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is 1 metric ton per hectare (t/ha) in bushels per acre for corn?
1 t/ha of corn equals approximately 15.93 bushels per acre (10 t/ha = 159.3 bu/acre).
What is 1 metric ton per hectare (t/ha) in bushels per acre for wheat/soybeans?
1 t/ha of wheat or soybeans equals approximately 14.87 bushels per acre (8 t/ha = 118.9 bu/acre).
How do I convert kg/ha to tonnes per hectare?
Divide kg/ha by 1,000 ($8,000\text{ kg/ha} / 1,000 = 8.00\text{ t/ha}$).
What is average wheat yield per hectare in the UK and Europe?
UK and Western European wheat yields average 8.0 to 9.5 tonnes per hectare (118 to 141 bu/acre).
What is average soybean yield per hectare in South America?
Brazil and Argentina soybean yields average 3.2 to 4.0 tonnes per hectare (47 to 60 bu/acre).
How many hectares are in 100 acres?
100 acres equals 40.4686 hectares ($100 / 2.47105 = 40.47\text{ ha}$).
What is the difference between short ton and metric ton?
1 Short Ton (US) = 2,000 lbs (907.18 kg). 1 Metric Ton (tonne) = 1,000 kg (2,204.62 lbs). 1 Metric Ton = 1.1023 Short Tons.
How do international grain contracts price grain per tonne?
Global trade contracts on exchanges like MATIF or Dalian price grain in Euros or USD per metric tonne delivered port/elevator.
What is 10 t/ha corn in US bushels per acre?
10 t/ha corn = 10,000 kg/ha = 159.3 bushels per acre.
Why do European farmers report yields in t/ha rather than bu/acre?
The metric system (t/ha and kg/ha) is the official scientific and commercial measurement standard in Europe and most countries outside the US.
