Learn about current grain prices per bushel for corn, wheat, soybeans, and oats, and how they are impacted by weather conditions, export demand, and government policies affecting production and trade.

The decline in revenue for industry farmers during the current period has primarily been driven by high global stocks and fierce international competition, compounded by climate volatility and challenging trade dynamics. High stocks of wheat and coarse grains are pressuring prices downward despite record domestic food use and demand for animal feed. Intense export competition from regions like the EU, Russia and Canada exacerbates this issue, making it difficult for US producers to maintain profit. Compounding the problem are climate and weather volatility, with increased instances of droughts and heat waves reducing yields and hindering production. Trade headwinds, including retaliatory tariffs and a strong US dollar, are also constraining exports, diminishing the competitiveness of US grain globally. Overall, industry revenue has dropped at a CAGR of 1.2% since 2020 to reach an expected $13.2 billion after a decrease of 6.3% in 2025. In addition to these external pressures, input costs remain a significant challenge for industry farmers. The persistently strong prices for fertilizers, pesticides and seeds, alongside increased agricultural wages and labor shortages, have elevated production expenses, straining profit as grain prices drop. Smaller and mid-sized farms are particularly affected, facing negative returns and low cash receipts. Some operations may be forced into consolidation if they are unable to absorb high costs. While some input prices, such as fuel and agrochemicals, have eased from huge spikes earlier in the current period, overall expenses continue to surpass commodity prices, eroding financial stability and forcing many producers to seek USDA program assistance to mitigate these challenges. Looking ahead, the wheat, barley, sorghum, oats and rye farming sector is expected to gradually recover as global stocks stabilize and demand grows, expanding at a CAGR of 0.9% to reach $13.8 billion in 2030. Easing supply chain disruptions and stabilizing input costs are expected to support this recovery. Future weakening of the US dollar stands to improve export competitiveness, offering some optimism for US producers. However, the recovery will vary across segments, with those benefiting from strong domestic demand or value-added products rebounding more quickly than those reliant on bulk exports.
