Less than 20% of U.S. Corn and Soybean Crop Remain in Fields

Harvest is inching closer and closer to the finish line, according to the most recent USDA Crop Progress Report. U.S. farmers are more than 80% finished with corn and soybean harvest as of Sunday. USDA said corn harvest is 84% complete compared to a 78% five-year average lead by Iowa (84%), Nebraska (82%) and Indiana (75%). Soybeans are 87% complete, falling one point behind the 88% five-year average with Illinois leading the charge at 85% complete and Indiana at 77%. Both, however, are well behind their five-year averages of 92% and 89% respectively. Meanwhile, U.S. winter wheat condition was rated 45% good to excellent, on par with last week.
