Ontario Grain Production and Utilization

Ontario is a significant producer of grains and oilseeds, with highly diversified domestic and export markets.

Where does Ontario grain go?

The Ontario grain industry is complex due to the size of the province, the wide range of transportation options, the interprovincial transfers of grains for certain export markets, the increased use of on-farm storage, and the movement of Western Canadian grain through Ontario ports. Understanding the current utilization of Ontario crops is complex and requires compiling multiple data and information sources.

Market Utilization Report

Building upon information and data available through Statistics Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Food and Rural Affairs, Grain Farmers of Ontario’s Market Utilization Report is informed by data from and interviews with key stakeholders and industry experts. The report characterizes Ontario barley, corn, oats, soybean, and wheat markets, including insights on international, domestic, and on-farm grain use. See report below.

This comprehensive report identifies key markets, grain uses, and trade opportunities, demonstrating the global reach and positive impact of Ontario farmers and the grains they grow.

Video: Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 | Three John Deere S7 700 Combines in Action

Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 is underway near Alden, Kansas!

In this video, I spend time with Frederick Harvesting, a custom harvesting operation based in Alden, Kansas. Back at their home farm, three new John Deere S7 700 combines equipped with John Deere HDF40 draper heads work through a drought-stricken winter wheat crop while one of the farm's John Deere 8R 370 tractors pulls a Brent 1398 grain cart.

Most of the Frederick Harvesting crew was already busy cutting wheat in southwest Kansas, but these machines remained at home to finish up local fields. Throughout the video, I explain what is happening, discuss the effects of dry conditions on the crop, and capture plenty of aerial footage showing the combines working with the grain elevator at Alden in the background.
