We can estimate future crop yields using the exponential growth formula

\[ \begin{equation*} \text { Yield }(t)=\text { Yield }_{0} e^{k t} \tag{4.36} \end{equation*} \]

where \(k\) is the growth rate and \(t\) is the period of time since the initial value Yield \({ }_{0}\). Collect the required data from Quick Stats to calculate the rate at which corn yields have increased in Minnesota between 1990 and 2009. Given this growth rate, what is the predicted 2020 corn yield for Minnesota?
