# North central Illinois harvest wrapping up

> Harvest is nearly complete in north-central Illinois after a relatively dry fall. A local farmer reported very good soybean yields, while corn yields varied and were affected by excess rain, heat after pollination, and weaker grain fill; USDA said 86% of Illinois corn and 91% of soybeans were harvested.
