#5 Big Bushels

Weather challenges and disease issues certainly stressed this year’s crop, but production hit all-time highs. That’s our # 5 story of 2025. USDA reports the U.S. corn yield averaged 186 bushels per acre, nearly seven bushels higher than last year’s record. Soybean yields are estimated at 53 bushels per acre, beating the previous record of just under 52 bushels per acre set in 2016.
