Common Questions About the 2026 Acreage Report
What is the USDA Acreage Report and why does it matter to farmers?
The USDA releases its official Acreage Report each June, summarizing planted acreage of major crops including corn and soybeans. Commodity markets often move significantly on release day. Farmers and grain merchandisers use acreage estimates to time marketing decisions, forward contracts, and hedging strategies.
How is FBN's acreage report different from the USDA's?
FBN's report is published before the USDA release, drawing on planting intention data from FBN's network of farmer members across the United States. It provides an independent, ground-level view of planting trends that can help you anticipate USDA figures and position your operation before the market reacts.

Yes. The 2026 FBN Acreage Report is completely free to download. Complete the form above and your copy will be delivered immediately.

The 2026 report focuses on corn and soybean planted acreage, including state-level trend analysis across major producing regions and corn/soy ratio shifts that indicate relative market pressure.
When does the USDA release its 2026 Acreage Report?
The USDA typically releases its annual Acreage Report in late June. FBN publishes its independent analysis ahead of the official release to give farmers time to act on the data before markets react.
