South-central Iowa lagging behind in soybean harvest
Dry weather continues to help farmers, especially when it comes to bringing in the beans.
The U.S.D.A. crop report shows one-quarter of the bean crop was harvested in the week that ended Sunday. That puts the soybean harvest at 81% complete — six days ahead of last year and ten days ahead of the average. The report says south-central Iowa farmers are behind the rest of the state, with only 54% of their soybeans done.
The corn harvest more than doubled so 45 percent of corn is now out of the fields. That’s three days ahead of last year and six days ahead of the five-year average.
