The Ontario growing region received 60 to 85 per cent of normal precipitation between Aug. 18 and Sept. 18, and temperatures were within average to two degrees above normal. In most Ontario counties, crops have developed under favourable conditions. However, some farmers are reporting yield drag northeast of Toronto in the Peterborough and Kawartha Lakes […] Read more

September WASDE report lowers yields for U.S. corn, soybean production
Canadian production still on track from July Statistics Canada estimates
When does a killing frost no longer damage soybean seeds?
OMAFRA Field Crop Report for the week of September 21
Late planted fields or double cropped soybeans may still be green in late September or October. A killing frost will not significantly harm seed quality once the field is at the R7 (beginning maturity) growth stage. R7 is reached when 50 per cent or more of the plants in a field have a pod that […] Read more
Great Lakes Grain tour points to average corn and soybean year
Summer drought considered main limiting factor for corn
Early results from the annual Great Lakes Grain Crop Assessment Tour, which began Aug. 29, indicate Ontario’s corn and soybean crops should meet average yield and quality measures. Data gathered during the tour comes from 500 sites ranging from Windsor to Barrie, the Ottawa Valley, and beyond. Participating farmers and industry partners – including AGRIS […] Read more
Corn, soybean prices likely to bottom out during harvest
Potential exists for interior prices to split from world values during this period
The Ontario growing region received normal precipitation during August and temperatures were also in line with the seasonal averages. Statistics Canada released its first model-based production estimate and Ontario yields were above average for corn, soybeans and wheat. The wheat market is expected to make a seasonal low in the latter half of September. Corn […] Read more
Tar spot and fungicide application timings
OMAFRA Field Crop Report for the week of September 14
Although tar spot was detected in Ontario in the first week of July the past two years, 2022 is much different than 2021 and shows the importance of environmental conditions for disease development. Remember, this holds true for any disease! The big difference was the dry conditions early and shortened leaf wetness periods which delayed […] Read more

Above average yields expected for Ontario corn, soybeans
Markets bearish due to outside influences, particularly U.S.-Chinese relations
The Ontario growing region received average precipitation in July, and temperatures were two to three degrees below normal. Most farmers in Ontario are expecting above average yields for corn and soybeans. The winter wheat harvest is complete. There are no quality problems and yields are slightly above the five-year average. We’re expecting significant harvest pressure […] Read more
Making double-crop soybeans work
Get in early, balance population with risk management and hope for rain – not early frost
One less bushel per acre, per day – that’s the end-season yield impact of planting soybeans in July, and one reason it’s critical to hedge bets if successful double-crop soybeans are the goal. Great success is possible, according to Dave Hooker, associate professor in plant agriculture at the University of Guelph, Ridgetown campus. A 2021 […] Read more
Soy crush boom to hit feedgrain prices
American crushing plants are expected to put more meal on the market as they respond to increased biofuel requirements
Glacier FarmMedia – Feedgrain prices are set to fall in coming years as soybean crush capacity soars in the United States, says an analyst. Annual crush capacity is expected to grow by 800 million bushels as grain companies capitalize on new policies like California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard that promote the use of soybean-based renewable […] Read more
Corn quality ‘highly variable,’ silage seen as option for some growers
OMAFRA Field Crop Report for the week of August 8
Much of the province received rain this past week, with significant rainfall (over 76 mm or 3 inches) in Huron Shores and Georgian Bay and eastern Ontario. A 25 to 50 mm (1-2 inch) rain mid-summer can still help finalize average yields, but it is too early to make final yield predictions. Crops that will […] Read more
