Crop tour finds huge Minnesota, Iowa crops, but diseases lurk
Crop tour finds strong corn, soy potential along with diseases in Illinois, western Iowa
Corn yield potential and soybean prospects are significantly above average across Illinois and western Iowa, though plant diseases could threaten final yields, scouts on an annual crop tour of the Midwest said on Wednesday.
Nebraska soy, Indiana corn show best potential in years, crop scouts say
Nebraska’s soybean pod count is the highest in at least 22 years, and its corn yield potential is the strongest in four years, scouts said on Tuesday during the second day of Pro Farmer’s annual tour of major grain-producing states.
Ontario crop trends show growth through ups and downs
The 2024 Ontario crop yields, based on how those average yields have evolved over time, are projected to be 176.1 bu./ac. for corn, 49.1 for soybeans, and 91.5 for winter wheat. These trend estimates are based on “normal” weather conditions and actual yields will depend on rainfall and temperature during the growing season.
Soybean acres may soon stabilize in Manitoba
Volatile yields, acres and weather have kept soy on a roller-coaster since 2017
There's an emerging consensus in Manitoba that soybean acres in the province could soon stabilize at around 1.5 to 1.9 million.
Ontario corn yield estimates above average, soybeans below
Corn needs heat units to optimize projected yields
Mother Nature needs to turn on the heat for Ontario corn to reach its yield potential before harvest. “We’re behind” in corn, Jim Irvine, of FS Partners/Great Lakes Grain, told Farmtario at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show. “The weather has slowed things down. We need a warm, frost-free September.” The 2023 Great Lakes Grain (GLG) crop […] Read more
Smaller Manitoba soybean crop expected
CNS Canada — Like most crops grown this year, Manitoba’s soybean yields were also highly variable in 2018. While early reports point to smaller production overall, lower-than-average yields won’t translate to higher prices, given prospects for a large U.S. crop. Manitoba soybean yields are “anywhere from 20 to 50” bushels per acre, said Mark Jorgenson […] Read more
Manitoba soybean yields disappoint
CNS Canada — With Manitoba farmers starting to bring in their early-maturing soybeans between intermittent rains, they may start to see the toll from the dry summer. Many crop analysts see soybean yields below what farmers have enjoyed for the past couple of years, but they stress that fields are variable and that longer-season varieties […] Read more
Manitoba soybean acres seen rising on record yields
CNS Canada –– Soybean acreage looks set to increase next year in Manitoba due to good yields and prices. The expansion comes despite the fact the province is overdue for a killing frost and U.S. acreage is set to grow. “This year we had just over 1.6 million acres planted. Early projections call for two […] Read more
U.S. soybean production gains outpace rising demand
Washington | Reuters — Record demand for soybeans has paled in comparison to the expected sharp gains in supply, which will leave U.S. farmers and commercial operators with a growing stockpile of the oilseed even as exports and crushings continue to rise. The U.S. Agriculture Department on Monday raised expected demand for U.S. soybeans during […] Read more
