As of November 1, U.S. corn harvest reached 74% completion, up 14 points in a week but behind the five-year average of 77%. Western Corn Belt states such as Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota lagged most, while soybean harvest ran ahead of its average at 88%.
A slower corn harvest extends the period of farm marketing and elevator handling into November, which can briefly weigh on nearby cash bids. Dry topsoil in many areas is a secondary concern for winter wheat and next season's planting, but the immediate price effect is small.
