That's the program's way of telling you that there is no discernible linear relationship between yield and any of your predictors .
A quick check reveals that this is precisely the case.

On the bright side.  You don't have to spend a lot of time writing up the results.


Simple pairwise correlations.

OK:  I actually examined the data itself (unusual for me -I'm more of a data butcher than a stats cat,  I know a lot about stats but typically I stay out of such discussions because IMNSHO, there is usually insufficient info to justify meddling (without substantial prodding) and mostly my best advice is to hire a qualified local advisor (which I guess is not what people want to hear!-).  
In this case it is flat out simple.  Nothing to see here.

Did you check whether the listwise deletion causes no valid cases to be left?
