USDA's Iowa Crop Progress report shows 66% of the state's corn harvested as of November 1, up from 47% on October 25, narrowing the gap to the five-year average to 13 points. The soybean harvest reached 90%, nearly erasing its six-point deficit.
Faster harvest progress means farmers are moving crop to market sooner, adding near-term harvest pressure on corn and soybean prices. The gains are routine seasonal progress rather than a change in crop size.
