# A quick harvest with average yields in northern Illinois

> Harvest in northern Illinois finished quickly, with corn yields slightly below average and soybean yields around average, according to farmer and agronomist Abigail Peterson. High heat during corn pollination likely limited yields, while late-season storms caused some soybean lodging; statewide harvest progress was ahead of the five-year average for both crops.

## Why it matters

Slightly lower local corn yields could modestly tighten nearby supply, while average soybean yields and rapid harvest progress limit broader supply concerns. The price impact is likely limited because the reported results are localized and broadly average.
