This year’s corn and soybean harvests continue to move faster than average. Harvest conditions were favorable in many areas over the past week, but delays were an issue in parts of the region last week and will likely also be a factor this week.
The USDA says 41% of corn is harvested, compared to the five-year average of 31%, and 94% has reached maturity, compared to 86% on average, with 60% of the crop rated good to excellent, 1% higher.
