Corn Yields 2025: A Humbling End to a Hard Season

As we close the books on 2025, the tone is a little more reflective than usual. Soybeans came through solid, but corn never had a fair shot. This year reminded us just how unpredictable farming can be — and how important it is to stay consistent.

What We’re Flying

With harvest mostly wrapped up, we’ve parked the planes for the season. No more in-season flying, just the early groundwork for 2026. That means talking with growers, reviewing what worked, and identifying where we can tighten things up — especially around disease pressure.

What We’re Seeing in the Field

Corn Yields 2025 told a different story than many of us hoped. Soybeans were a highlight — consistent and solid across the board. But corn struggled to the finish line. Even with fungicide applications, disease pressure was some of the worst we’ve seen. A lot of acres never had a chance to finish strong.

That’s frustrating, especially when you think about what went into every pass and every plan. Still, tough years like this are part of the deal — and they often teach us more than the easy ones.

What to Watch: Learning from Corn Yields 2025

We’re already sharpening the plan for 2026. For some fields, that might mean a two-pass fungicide program. In others, it’s going to be about tighter spray timing to stay ahead of pressure before it builds. What we’re not doing is panicking. A rough year doesn’t change who we are or how we farm.

Farming is about consistency. One season doesn’t define your operation — it just gives you more experience to draw from.

In Wrap...
