Summary
Ohio’s 2026 Pro Farmer Crop Tour estimate put corn yield at 180.18 bushels per acre from 117 samples, while soybean pod counts averaged 1,197.25 in a 3-by-3-foot area from 115 samples.
The corn estimate trailed both 2025’s 185.69 BPA and the three-year Ohio average of 184.31, with district yields ranging from 172.48 BPA in OH 1 to 188.08 BPA in OH 2.
Soybean pod counts also came in below last year’s 1,287.28 and the three-year average of 1,256.71, even as average soil moisture measured 5.46 versus 2.18 a year earlier.
District soybean pod counts varied widely, from 1,015.51 in OH 1 to 1,295.05 in OH 4, suggesting uneven crop potential across the state as the tour samples fields.
