The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Crop Report as of April 20, 2025, shows promising developments in corn and soybean planting, crucial information for the propane and renewable fuels sectors. Corn planting has climbed to 12% across the 18 states that account for 92% of corn acreage. Similarly, soybean planting has started in the 18 states that represent 96% of the soybean acreage, with 8% already planted.
Tracking crop progress is important, as crop drying facilities rely heavily on propane during the harvest season. Understanding these trends is essential for industry stakeholders preparing for the upcoming months. For a detailed view of the crop conditions and more specific data, please click here.
