Figure III.

LM plots of the
Census of Agriculture, showing soybean yield (in bushels per acre),
acreage (in millions of acres), and production (in millions of bushels) by state. he data are sorted by
yield and show the
US states where soybeans were planted. he “US Average” represents the median,
i.e., the value that splits the data in half such that half of the states have values below the median and
the other half of the states have values above the median. For example, Tennessee is the state with the
median yield. his figure has been republished from http://www.nass.usda.gov/research/gmsoyyap.htm
without any modifications (and ideally should contain much less white space in the lower part)
