Canadian farmers reported higher production for most crops in 2025, including wheat, canola, barley, oats, dry peas and lentils, but lower production for corn and soybeans. In general, yields were higher than 2024, particularly in Western Canada, where favourable weather conditions later in the growing season helped crop development.
In Western Canada, weather conditions were somewhat variable throughout the 2025 growing season. Despite dry conditions throughout early parts of the summer, timely precipitation later in the growing season considerably improved conditions. The improvement in growing conditions pushed yields and production for several crops grown predominantly in the Prairies to record highs. Harvest conditions were generally good across the Prairies, proceeding roughly in line with historical averages and largely complete by mid-October.
In Eastern Canada, rainfall was generally below average. Combined with summer heat, these conditions resulted in lower yields in many areas. Like Western Canada, harvest conditions were generally good, with harvest proceeding in a timely manner.
