Resolves Feb 7, 2027
$
The yield of corn for grain in South Dakota for the year 2026 will be measured by the USDA NASS. The market will resolve based on whether this yield exceeds a specific threshold per harvested acre, reflecting agricultural productivity and potential influences such as weather, farming practices, and market conditions.
The market resolves based on the final 2026 corn for grain yield per harvested acre in South Dakota, as reported by USDA NASS in its first Crop Production Annual Summary. Four separate thresholds are evaluated: above 165, 170, 175, and 180 bushels per acre. Only the yield for corn for grain is considered; corn silage yield is excluded. Subsequent revisions to the data after the initial report will not affect the resolution. The outcome is determined solely by whether the reported yield exceeds each specified threshold.
Currently, this market reflects a different outlook than many agricultural analysts, who often use historical yields, weather patterns, and soil conditions in their models. Traders on Kalshi are pricing in additional variables such as market demand and policy changes, which can shift the expected yield higher or lower compared to traditional forecasts.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book where buyers and sellers post bids and asks directly. The current top outcome has a chance of 99.0%, reflecting the collective bet of all participants. Volume of $394,054 shows the level of interest and liquidity in the market.
This market resolves around Feb 7, 2027, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final settlement will reflect the official USDA corn yield figure for South Dakota in 2026, drawn from authoritative agricultural statistics released after the harvest season.
Key signals that could shift this market include early weather forecasts for the 2026 growing season, USDA planting reports, commodity price fluctuations, and any policy announcements affecting farm subsidies or crop insurance. Unexpected droughts, pest outbreaks, or changes in global corn demand can also cause rapid movements in trader sentiment and pricing.
