That would be 11.3% above 2025 and, if realized, exceed the 15.4-million-tonne record set in 2023. The agency estimated wheat at 36.1 million tonnes, down 0.9%, and canola at 22.1 million tonnes, down 0.8%. Soybean production was projected at 7.5 million tonnes, up 7.8%; barley at 9.7 million tonnes, nearly unchanged; and oats at 3.0 million tonnes, down 22.7%. The figures describe a mixed crop outlook rather than a uniform increase or decline across Canadian agriculture.","These are preliminary estimates, not a final count of harvested output. Statistics Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada use satellite imagery and agroclimatic information with the June seeded-area survey to model yields and production. For the August estimates, harvested area is first approximated from the relationship between seeded and harvested area over the previous three crop years. That ratio is applied to the current year’s seeded area, and the resulting area estimate is multiplied by the average yield from those three years. The method allows a national estimate while crops are still being harvested, but it is not a direct measurement of every field’s final yield. The agency says the figures may be revised for two years; survey-based final production estimates for 2026 are scheduled for December 4.","The projected increase in corn combines higher expected yields with more harvested land. National corn yield was estimated to rise 4.3% to 169.1 bushels per acre, while harvested area was expected to increase 6.8% to 3.9 million acres. Soybean output was projected to grow as yield rose 4.7% to 46.4 bushels per acre and harvested area expanded 3.0% to 5.9 million acres. The outlook is weaker for several other crops: wheat, canola and barley each show a modest or small decline, while the forecast reduction for oats is larger and reflects decreases in both yield and harvested area. These estimates alone do not establish changes in crop prices, farm revenues, exports or inventories.","Provincial estimates show why the national numbers should not be read as a description of every growing region. Ontario, Canada’s largest corn-producing province, was projected to harvest 10.4 million tonnes, 9.8% more than in 2025, with gains in both area and yield. Quebec’s corn estimate rose 19.9% to 3.5 million tonnes. Manitoba was expected to reach a record 2.3 million tonnes of corn because a larger harvested area more than offset lower yields. For soybeans, the pattern differs: Manitoba’s larger area was expected to be outweighed by a projected yield decline, leaving output 0.3% lower at 2.0 million tonnes. The comparisons illustrate that acreage and yield can move in opposite directions.","Growing conditions were uneven through the season. Statistics Canada reported below-average crop conditions in some Prairie areas where precipitation was limited, while parts of western Canada with adequate rainfall had above-average conditions. In Ontario, rainfall was above average across much of the province and western Quebec. Those observations help explain the context for the model but do not determine the final harvest. The August figures are best treated as an interim statistical estimate that can change when better field information becomes available. The next scheduled survey-based estimate will provide a later view of actual production, and further revisions may follow. This report relays the agency’s current estimates without projecting commodity prices or making a claim about the final size of the harvest."],"key_points":[],"sections":[]},"text":"Statistics Canada’s August model estimates show higher corn and soybean output, alongside lower wheat, canola, barley and oat production.\n\nStatistics Canada’s August model estimates, released on September 16, put Canada’s 2026 corn-for-grain crop at 16.5 million tonnes.
