# Pick Wet Corn – Not Dry, Crop Consultant Says

> Eastern Corn Belt harvest is uneven, with Indiana's corn harvest at 46% against a 59% five-year average and corn moisture running high. Yields reported in northwest Indiana top 200 bushels per acre, and the national corn crop rating stands at 66% good to excellent.

## Why it matters

Harvest delays and high moisture raise drying costs and slow deliveries, but reported yields above 200 bushels per acre are supportive of ample supply, so the net price effect is small.
