In Arkansas, The Pine Bluff Commercial reported that despite severe flood damage in April that caused producers to replant or delay planting, Arkansas corn acreage increased significantly last year compared to 2024.
Jason Kelley, extension wheat and feed grains agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, said 2025 was a difficult year for corn and other crops.
Kelley said Arkansas corn acreage increased dramatically compared to 2024. In 2025, producers planted 810,000 acres of corn and harvested 790,000 acres, with an average yield of 179 bushels per acre. In 2024, there were 500,000 acres of corn harvested for an average yield of 186 bushels per acre, according to the report.
