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.
