The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Crop Report as of May 12, 2025 shows promising developments in corn and soybean planting, crucial information for the propane and renewable fuels sectors. Corn planting has climbed to 62% across the 18 states that account for 92% of corn acreage, ahead of the five-year average. Similarly, soybean planting in the 18 states that represent 96% of the soybean acreage has also commenced, with 48% already planted, ahead of the five-year average.
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.
