Cool, mostly dry weather across the Corn Belt is allowing fieldwork to resume after earlier widespread rain, while wet areas continue to delay work. As of November 1, Michigan corn harvest was 43% complete, and national sorghum harvest was 64% complete, both behind five-year averages; dry weather is aiding harvest and winter wheat planting on much of the Plains.
Harvest delays may temporarily constrain the flow of corn and sorghum to market, while dry conditions are helping fieldwork catch up; the reported pace alone suggests only modest price effects.
