Historical grain yields from several countries were analyzed to determine the variability of grain yield. This was accomplished by assuming a linear technology trend and analyzing the deviations from this trend. The deviation was assumed to be primarily an effect of weather. Using 10 percent deviati
## Abstract An important goal of this work is to study the variability of corn and soya bean crop yields in four countries with large production and substantial commercial trade in these commodities. This problem can be investigated in terms of the role that these two crops play in food programmes
