Farmers and analysts who spoke to DTN last week at Minnesota Farmfest said they expect the state's crops to produce yields comparable to last year, which saw record or near-record yields in most counties. DTN's Digital Yield Tour forecasts the corn yield at 200.6 bpa and soybeans at 52.5 bpa.

DTN's Digital Yield Tour projects Iowa will have the highest corn yield in the country at 214 bushels per acre (bpa). Iowa is also projected to have the second-highest soybean yield at 61.8 bpa. While both yields are strong, Iowa's soybean yield could come in near or below the five-year RMA average yield.

For the first time, the DTN Digital Yield Tour kicks off in 2026 with national yield estimates for corn and soybeans generated by DTN's own proprietary yield models.
