Most projected wheat acres have now been planted in our locale. With the near perfect conditions, this is expected to be the biggest wheat planting year in Lambton County and Ontario. At present, Ontario's wheat acres are expected to be over 1 million which has never been done before. 

Corn harvest is now in full swing. It is expected that there is between 20-30% of the corn crop off. 

Yields have been variable, with areas that got grain generally performing better. Yield estimates vary on average from 150-220bu/acre, with some fields doing better, and some worse. 

So far, much of the corn we have seen has been in the in the 18-22% moisture level range.
