Planting extension for soybeans

Jul 02, 2024

Wet weather in parts of Ontario is continuing to create difficult planting conditions. After assessing the risks and consulting with industry, Agricorp is now also extending the soybean planting deadline from June 30 to July 2, for the areas listed below.

Decisions to extend planting deadlines for Production Insurance require approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Other criteria for extensions include agronomic impacts, crop conditions surrounding the planting dates, and viability of the crop.

Decisions to plant within the extended planting period are left up to individual farmers.

For a full list of all planting deadlines, see the feature sheet on agricorp.com.
