USDA's Crop Progress report showed corn harvest 74% complete across 18 major states as of Nov. 1, up 14 points on the week but 3 points behind the five-year average.
North Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri are nearing completion, while Michigan, Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska lag their averages.
Harvest pace is a routine progress indicator; delays from rain and transport constraints can slow grain movement to terminals, but the gap is small and unlikely to move corn prices on its own.
After 770 past neutral report events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
