Analysis
Week ending Sep 6 — 3 weeks ago
Sweet corn states show only last year's final tallies
No condition, harvest or forecast figures were available for the week ending September 6, 2026, across the seven reporting states. The only figures on hand are prior-season finals: Washington led at 16.4 million cwt in 2025, followed by Minnesota at 12.2 million cwt and Wisconsin at 8.7 million cwt. Florida, California, Georgia, Oregon and New York each finished under 6 million cwt in 2025, while Delaware, Maryland and Ohio's most recent finals date to 2018. With no current-season crop progress reported yet, the next USDA update will be needed to gauge how the 2026 crop compares.
This is the most recent reading USDA has published for this crop and state; it is not a current-week rating.

USDA published annual estimates for this state through 2025. It has since been dropped from the annual survey, so there is no newer production figure — the weekly condition ratings above are the current measure.
