On September 19th 2025, we posted an X Roll-Call for the % of Ontario corn and soybean acres harvested up to the end of September 21st.

Soybeans are about 21% complete across the province, a few points ahead of last year at this time. Soybeans have been reported as being "dry" thus far, with many fields in the 8-9-11% range.

Many farmers have been seeding winter wheat by following the combine with the drill. Quite a few respondents have reported they have 50-100% of intended wheat acres in, however these farmers tend to be in the snow belt, where harvest typically starts earlier than the southern parts of Ontario or has been planted on edible bean acres.

Outside of silage coming off and possibly a few rare farmers harvesting drought stressed corn, there is essentially no grain corn harvested as of September 21st, although we did have a few respond they have started in parts of Eastern Ontario.

We will be running our next survey the weekend of October 5th (will post Friday October 3rd), if you would like to participate.

Bayer CropScience is sponsoring our harvest progress reports for the 2025 season. As a perennial sponsor for these surveys, we greatly appreciate their support.
