As 2025 comes to an end, we can all be very grateful for the yields we achieved this year. The areas we serve were blessed with near-record to record yields this growing season. Planting across the state was timely, and everything got off to a great start. Excessive rainfall mostly stayed away, and timely rains occurred throughout. We did have some disease spread into certain areas late in the season, but it didn’t significantly hurt yields, except in some southern counties that experienced Southern rust for one of the first times ever. Harvest was very fast-paced like in 2024. The rains mostly stayed away during harvest, and unlike last year, the grain moisture levels did not drop to unsatisfactory levels except in some early soybeans.
