The USDA says the U.S. corn and soybean harvests made solid advances over the past week. That was because of generally dry conditions in much of the Midwest and Plains, but this week has already seen severe storms, heavy rain, and even snow in parts of the region, which will cause at least some delay.
As of Sunday, 61% of U.S. corn is harvested, compared to the five-year average of 52%, and 97% of the crop is mature, matching the average.
