All Wheat Output Soars to Record High

Canada’s wheat harvest has exceeded earlier expectations and set a new record, according to the latest Statistics Canada figures.  

The federal agency’s final crop production report for the 2025 growing season on Thursday put national all wheat production at 39.954 million tonnes. That is well above StatsCan’s model-based September estimate of 36.623 million, up 11.2% from last year’s crop of 35.938 million, and tops the previous high of 37.589 million set in 2013.  

Spring wheat production surged to 29.258 million tonnes, far above the September projection of 26.607 million and 10.3% above the previous year’s 26.515 million. 

National durum wheat output rose to 7.134 million tonnes, exceeding the September estimate of 6.534 million tonnes and up 11.8% from last year.  

Winter wheat production reached 3.56 million tonnes, up modestly from the September estimate of 3.481 million but still 17% higher than a year ago, driven by an expansion in harvested acres despite lower yields. 

At 56 bu/acre, the average 2025 all wheat yield was revised up from 51.1 bu in September and well above 50.2 bu last year. That tops the previous high of 53.5 bu/acre achieved in 2013. 

The average spring wheat yield is estimated at a record 58.8 bu/acre, up from 53.1 bu in September and 52.1 bu last year, while the average durum yield climbed to 40.9 bu from 37.7 bu in September and 37 bu a year ago but still well below the 2016 high of 49.5 bu.
