2026 Corn, Soybean, and Wheat Outlook
The key points for the 2026 season are: Large ending stocks from 2025 mean that prices will likely remain low during 2026. Tight margins are expected to continue in 2026 as projected prices for corn, soybeans, and wheat are near or below the breakeven cost of production. In Georgia, growers are likely to plant more corn acres, while soybean and wheat plantings will be comparable to last year.

The growth and development of sweet corn is affected by accumulated heat units, measured in growing degree days (GDDs). This publication provides South Georgia sweet corn growers with insights into the relationship between temperature and GDD units and the key growth stages of sweet corn. This will help growers make informed decisions about the timing for planting, management practices, irrigation, and harvesting.

This publication lists vegetable variety recommendations for the state of Georgia. Most of these varieties have been trialed and grown successfully in the state. These are not the only varieties that can grow well in Georgia but provide new gardeners with a starting point to increase their chances of success. Gardeners may need to search print catalogs and online to find the vegetables they are looking for, as local garden centers may not always carry the varieties listed here.

Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring toxin produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus. The fungus can be recognized by a gray-green or yellow-green mold growing on corn kernels in the field or in storage. Plant stress due to drought, heat or insect damage during fungus growth usually increases aflatoxin levels. Aflatoxin contamination will reduce feeding value and hinder sales. Because it is extremely poisonous to warm-blooded animals even at relatively low levels, grain handling facilities often check for the presence of the toxin before purchasing corn.
