In its final crop production report for the 2023 season back in December, Statistics Canada put the all-Ontario corn yield at 170.9 bu/acre, with the provincewide average soybean yield estimated at 51.4
According to Agricorp, about 1.6 million acres of corn and just over 2 million acres of soybeans were covered by production insurance in 2023. Total 2023 Ontario corn and soybean harvested area this past year was reported by StatsCan at 2.1 million and 2.8 million acres, respectively.
Some of the strongest corn and soybean yields were reported by crop insurance customers in Oxford County. Yields were also strong in Essex and Kent counties, along with pockets of eastern Ontario, including Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. On the other hand, the Niagara region and Grey County were among those areas where yields were much weaker.
