There were records set in corn, soybean, sunflower and hay produc tion. The wheat crop was the second largest on record and the cotton crop the largest since 1965. Harvested acreage of principal crops totaled 337 million acres, up 3 percent from 1978. Because crops are measured in different quantities, the Agriculture Department measures the total crop by an index, which was 10 percent higher than in 1978. The Agriculture Department’s Crop Reporting Board said Tuesday the corn crop was 7.76 billion bushels, up 2 percent from the November forecast, for the fifth rec ord crop in a row. The size of the latest corn crop was attributed to a small increase in acreage and a record national aver age yield of 109.4 bushels per acre, the second year in a row that the national average surpassed 100 bushels per acre. A revised estimate of the 1978 yield was 100.8 bushels per acre. In November, the last time the corn crop was estimated, the na tional average yield was estimated at 109.2 bushels per acre. A record soybean crop was esti mated at 2.27 billion bushels, 1 per cent larger than the November fore cast. It was the third record crop in a row.
