Great Lakes Grain Crop Assessment Tour
runs from August 28
th-September 8th 2023. Great Lakes
Grain staff and partners from AGRIS Co-operative, FS PARTNERS and Coop Embrun
will scout corn and soybean fields with farmers who sign up for the tour. The
team will conduct yield estimates, gauge crop progress and evaluate the overall
health of Ontario corn and soybean crops. By assessing these crops, the team
can work with producers to understand if they have further opportunities to
market their grain. The benefit of the crop tour is to have a better
understanding of overall corn and soybean crop health and yield for farmer
participants, exporters and end-users. This assists all parties to make
agronomic, economic and handling decisions for the 2023-2024 crop. County yield
results will be released at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show at Woodstock, ON, on
September 12, 2023.
