Agricorp Releases Ontario Winter Wheat Yield Map

Agricorp has released its annual yield map for the 2025 Ontario winter wheat harvest. 

According to the provincial crop insurer, production insurance customers reported average to above average winter wheat yields, with Soft Red Winter wheat averaging 110% of average farm yield. This continues the trend of above average winter wheat yield that was seen in 2024, Agricorp said. 

As can be seen from the map below, some of the strongest winter wheat yields in the southwestern part of the province were seen in Chatham-Kent, Oxford, Perth, and Waterloo counties, along with the Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry in the far eastern reaches of the province. 

Statistics Canada in September estimated the average 2025 Ontario winter wheat yield at 91.3 bu/acre, down from 95.8 bu a year earlier and the lowest since 2021 at 90.9 bu.

Midwest Weather Shock: Flash Drought Turns Into Heavy Rain Threat This Week (2026 Forecast)

Video: Midwest Weather Shock: Flash Drought Turns Into Heavy Rain Threat This Week (2026 Forecast)

A rapidly changing Midwest weather pattern is unfolding in 2026 as areas that recently slipped into abnormal dryness and flash drought conditions are now facing the threat of heavy rain and repeated storm systems.

After a wet spring erased early drought conditions, regions across Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and northern Missouri have quickly dried out again since mid-to-late May. Soil moisture is dropping fast, and crops like corn and soybeans are beginning to feel the stress of rising temperatures and lack of consistent rainfall. Now, weather models show a major shift.

A developing system moving in from the Northern Plains is expected to bring multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms, with the potential for locally heavy rainfall across the Midwest. While some areas may miss out, others could finally see much-needed relief from the growing dryness. In this video, we break down:
