Individual Ontario soybeans lay on the soil due to pod shatter during harvest. Statistics Canada projects a 5.7 per cent decrease in national soybean production for 2025, year-over-year, with Ontario farmers anticipating an 8.8 per cent decrease. Ontario's harvested acres are expected to be around 2.9 million acres, with a projected yield of approximately 50.8 bushels/acre.
