How many cups does an ear of corn yield? ›

On average, one ear yields about ¾ cup kernels. One 10-ounce package frozen corn yields about 2½ cups. If you do use fresh whole ear corn, don't throw out the cobs. Corncobs add depth and flavor to soups and chowders.

Tips. One medium ear of corn will yield approximately 1/2 cup of kernels. Four medium ears of corn will yield about 2 cups, the equivalent of a 10-ounce package of frozen corn.

While the yield of the corn kernels will obviously vary by the size of the cob, a good rule of thumb is to assume you will get about ¾ cup per ear. See our collection of Corn Recipes for a variety of ways to use fresh corn.

The key ingredient in realising these uncanny cakes is fondant – a type of icing made from sugar, hydrogenated oils, glycerol and gelatine. Fondant is highly malleable, making it kind of like moulding clay, while its stability allows it to retain its shape for long periods.

The average corn yield in Kansas (119 bu/acre) was 8% below trend, while the yields in Minnesota and Missouri were slightly more than 6% below trend. The average US corn yield of 177.3 bushels per acre in 2023 was 3.4 bushels per acre (1.9%) shy of the 180.7 bushel per acre US trend yield.

Count the number of kernel rows on each ear. Calculate the average kernel row number and record it. Grain yield for the sampling area is calculated by multiplying the average ear count by the average ear length by the average kernel row number, then dividing by the row spacing.

Multiply the weight of wet grain by the initial percent dry matter content, Nielsen says. Then divide the result by the desired ending percent dry matter content to get the weight of actual dry grain. He illustrates this with an example: Suppose you have 100,000 pounds of 20% corn.

Each corn plant typically produces no more than one or two ears of corn. At the recommended spacing of 2 plants per square foot, you might get about a dozen ears of corn in half of a 3x6 raised bed. There's another challenge, too. Corn is wind-pollinated.
