The U.S. corn and soybean harvests continue to run ahead of average. Conditions were good in most key growing areas over the past week, but activity in some areas was delayed by rainfall.
The USDA says 18% of U.S. corn is harvested, compared to the five-year average of 15%, while 97% has dented, compared to 94% on average, and 74% of the crop is mature, compared to the usual rate of 64%. 59% of corn is in good to excellent condition, unchanged on the week.
