The USDA says the 2021 U.S. corn and soybean harvests advanced last week, but some areas are experiencing delays. Most of those delays are in the eastern Midwest, with parts of that region excessively wet, and a slow soybean harvest could impact winter wheat planting in double crop areas.
As of Sunday, 84% of U.S. corn is harvested, compared to 74% last week and the five-year average of 78%, while 87% of soybeans are harvested, compared to 79% a week ago and 88% on average.
