Lantmännen will publish its harvest forecast - an estimate of how large this year's harvest will be - at the beginning of July. Here you can read the latest news from harvest 2025, from spring sowing to harvest.

 

A harvest year begins in September when the soil is tilled and the crop is sown to germinate before the winter dormancy period. When spring comes, it begins to sprout again and during the summer the ears sprout and in August it begins to be threshing. Here we collect news from the harvest - from spring cultivation to harvest.

Lantmännen Harvest Evaluation 2025

This year's harvest yields large volume but less profitability

With this year's harvest largely salvaged , it is clear that 2025 will be a year with large volumes but weak profitability for grain farmers. Since the Swedish Board of Agriculture communicated a forecast of 5.9 million tonnes of grain in August, the harvest conditions have continued to be favourable and we look set to move towards a harvest of around six million tonnes.

We see a strong harvest in both volume and quality, but weak profitability for farmers. When grain prices are squeezed and costs continue to be high, it becomes difficult to make ends meet. A profitable agriculture is not just about the farmer's own survival, it is the basis for Sweden to be able to produce more food and stand stronger in times of crisis.

What is a harvest year?

A harvest year extends from autumn sowing to harvest, starting in September when the soil is tilled and autumn crops such as winter wheat and rapeseed are sown to germinate before the winter dormancy period. When spring and warmth come, they begin to sprout again. When the soil is dry enough, it is also worked for the sowing of spring crops such as barley, wheat and fodder corn. During the summer, the ears germinate and in August they begin to be threshing. The harvest is then taken to the grain reception and the fields are prepared for the next growing season.

This is how Lantmännen makes its harvest forecast

Lantmännen will publish its harvest forecast - an estimate of how large this year's harvest will be - at the beginning of July. The harvest forecast is based on an estimated yield based on weather data, precipitation, temperature and area information for each county, which farmers in Sweden have submitted to the Swedish Board of Agriculture. Historical data, such as returns for similar years, are also taken into account. To make an assessment of the harvest in advance is difficult and it is therefore important to keep in mind that the harvest forecast is just that. The weather during the rest of the summer and during the harvest also affects both the actual volume and the quality. We will only know what this year's harvest will be like until the farmers have harvested their harvest and the results have been compiled.
