# High-yield harvest coupled with higher costs, uncertainties for farmers

> By early November, most soybeans and about 80% of corn had been harvested locally. The USDA’s October 26 report showed corn harvest progress at 65% statewide and 60% nationally, while soybean progress was 93% statewide and 79% nationally; grain-drying moisture and input costs remain concerns for farmers.

## Why it matters

Harvest progress and drying costs can affect the timing and expense of moving crops into storage, but the figures do not indicate a major supply disruption. The report offers little basis for a material price move.
