Heavy rain in early November left Iowa farmers with fewer than two suitable field-work days and slowed harvest. By November 8, 72% of corn acres had been harvested, compared with a five-year average of 89%, while soybean harvest was 93% complete and slightly behind its average pace.
Rain-delayed corn harvesting can temporarily constrain grain movement and increase harvest risk, offering slight near-term support to corn. Soybean harvest is close to completion, limiting the likely supply impact.
