The Canadian corn farming industry has navigated a landscape rife with both volatility and opportunities in recent years. Revenue grew modestly, influenced by factors like fluctuating corn prices and rising input costs. The industry's performance has been strongly impacted by demand from animal feed and human food products, alongside industrial applications like ethanol. Technological advancements such as precision agriculture are beginning to reshape farming practices, improving efficiency and sustainability. Overall, industry revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 0.9% to reach an expected $2.85 billion in 2024 after a decrease of 10.3% in the year. Over the past five years, corn prices experienced notable increases, especially between 2021 and 2023, driven by global demand and high costs for inputs such as fertilizer and oil. In 2024, prices have dropped as these costs decrease, supply remains high and US corn prices fall, leaving a big dent in revenue and profit. These shifts have also slashed profit as farmers struggle to balance operating costs and long-term supply contracts with dropping prices. However, the industry has been buoyed by strong demand for corn, with a robust export market and heightened domestic demand for corn-based consumer products, such as corn syrup and whisky. The market for corn-based animal feed was also driven up by strong livestock production, although competition with other grains has been a consistent challenge. The next five years promise a dynamic period for the corn farming industry. Consumer preferences are shifting toward gluten-free and plant-based products, creating greater demand for corn in diverse applications. The expansion of meat production will also sustain demand for corn as livestock feed, while decreasing ethanol production may redirect focus towards other industrial uses. Despite these opportunities, challenges linger. Climate change presents unpredictable weather patterns, necessitating adaptive agricultural practices and investments in resilient seed varieties. The price of corn will stay closely linked to global oil movements and competitive pressures, making it a volatile industry where price swings can significantly impact farmers' prospects. Overall, industry revenue is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 1.0% through 2029 to reach 3.0 billion.

This data shows spatial density of Corn cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which Corn is more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have Corn based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

Crop Heat Units (CHU) are calculated on a daily basis, using the maximum and minimum temperatures in order to account for a crop’s negative response to higher temperatures. The formula used to calculate the CHU value for a day is: (1.8 × (Minimum Temperature − 4.4) + 3.33 × (Maximum Temperature − 10) − 0.084 × (Maximum Temperature − 10)²) ÷ 2.0 CHU values are only accumulated during the Growing Season, April 1 through October 31.
