What vegetable yields the most pounds of produce per acre?
It depends on the year and location, but generally sugarbeets, sugarcane, carrots, onions, cabbage and potatos are all very high. Among all irrigated farms in the US in 2002 or 2003 (see the USDA reports in the sources) sugarcane 30.6 tons per acre carrots 28.2 tons per acre sugarbeets 24.1 tons per acre onions 22.1 tons per acre potatos 19.6 tons per acre cabbage 15.1 tons per acre But in Washington State (which is great for sugarbeets and potatos), in 2003 Sugarbeets were 40.3 Tons per acre and potatos were 28.75 tons per acre). For you non-farmers when you read the charts, Cwt is the abbreviation for hundredweight, which is 100 lbs or 0.05 tons.
