A longer growing season will produce higher yields than a shorter season, assuming weather, pests, disease, is the same.
Either you get the crops in early and can use longer maturity hybrids so they have more time to grow the crop or you still have time to replant or plant wet areas.
Additionally, longer season allows farmers to plant more acres helping to address the decrease in available farm labor.
