Farm and Dairy reports that improved weather let US corn harvest catch up to 49% complete, slightly ahead of average, while soybean harvest lagged at 53% versus 69% average. Iowa and Minnesota were slow, while Illinois and Ohio were ahead.
Faster corn harvest adds to available supply, while the soybean backlog keeps beans tight and supports soybean meal pricing.
