The U.S. corn and soybean harvests have both passed the halfway mark. That’s following a week of mixed conditions in region, including heavy rainfall in some areas and winter-like conditions in parts of the Plains.
The USDA says 52% of the U.S. corn crop is harvested, compared to the five-year average of 41%, with 97% of the crop mature, compared to 93% on average, and 60% rated good to excellent, steady on the week.
