Agricorp Releases 2025 Ontario Corn, Soybean Yield Maps

Provincial crop insurer Agricorp has released its 2025 Ontario corn and soybean yield maps, which show average corn yields and below-average soybean yields after a dry summer that affected growth in many areas. 

Production insurance customers reported an average of 191 bu/corn per acre, on par with the 10-year average on insured acres. Soybeans averaged 46 bu/acre, which was 6% lower than the 10-year average of 50 bu, Agricorp said. 

As can be seen from the maps below, some of the strongest corn and soybean yields were reported in the southwest part of the province, most notably in Chatham-Kent. 

In its Dec. 4 crop production report, Statistics Canada estimated the 2025 average Ontario corn yield – including acres both covered and not covered by production insurance – at 175.6 bu/acre, down from 180 bu a year earlier. The average soybean yield across all acres in the province was reported by the federal agency at 45.7 bu/acre, down sharply from 51.8 bu in 2024. 

According to StatsCan, 2025 Ontario corn production, at 9.49 million tonnes, was down 1.4% from the previous year, while soybean output amounted to 3.56 million, down a hefty 18.2% on the year.

Democratizing Gene Editing - Pairwise’s Vision for the Future of Agriculture

Video: Democratizing Gene Editing - Pairwise’s Vision for the Future of Agriculture

Pairwise has built its business around an idea that runs counter to how many companies approach innovation: make transformative technology easier to access.

In this Seed World interview, CEO Tom Adams discusses why broader access to gene editing could speed crop improvement, expand innovation opportunities and help agriculture address emerging challenges. He explains why Pairwise believes no single company can solve all of agriculture's problems alone—and why making advanced breeding technologies available to more organizations could accelerate progress across the industry.

The conversation explores how consumer trust influences technology adoption, why innovations like pitless cherries and seedless blackberries matter beyond convenience, and how future crop improvements could help address labor shortages, automation, harvest efficiency and other production challenges. Adams also shares his perspective on what the industry may be underestimating about the next wave of gene editing innovation.

Watch the full interview to hear why Pairwise believes agriculture is approaching an important inflection point for gene editing, and why the pace of innovation over the next decade could surprise the industry.

Topics Covered:

o Democratizing agricultural innovation

o Consumer trust and technology adoption

o The business case for sharing innovation

o Expanding innovation beyond major crops

o Next-generation breeding technologies
