USDA makes minor adjustments to corn, soybean acres

The USDA made modest changes to its 2025 planted area figures for corn and soybeans.

Following a survey of farmers, U.S. corn acreage is pegged at 95.203 million acres, slightly below what the USDA was projecting in March, but up 5% from 2024’s total of 90.594 million, with 86.774 million acres expected to be harvested for grain, compared to 82.896 million a year ago. This would be the third largest U.S. corn planted area since 1944.

Soybean planted area is seen at 83.38 million acres, 200,000 below the March guess and down 4% on the year. 2024 planted area totaled 87.05 million acres. Harvested area is expected to be 82.535 million acres, compared to 86.05 million in 2024.

At the time the report was put together, the USDA says there 3.629 million acres of corn and 11.545 million acres of soybeans were left to be planted, both above this time in 2024.

These numbers will change over the next couple of months, with the first prevent plant data out in August.
