Resumo: 	Forecast distributions based on historical yields and subjective expectations for 1987 expected crop yields were compared for 90 Western Kentucky grain farms.  Different subjective probability elicitation techniques were also compared.  In many individual cases, results indicate large differences between subjective and empirical moments.  Overall, farmer expectations for 1987 corn yields were below those predicted from their past yields, while soybean expectations were above the historical forecast.  Geographical location plays a larger role than crop in comparisons of relative variability of yield.  Neither elicitation technique nor manager characteristics have significant effects on the comparisons of the forecasts.
