USDA’s November 9 report showed Missouri soybean harvest 84% complete and corn harvest 89% complete for the week ending November 8; both were at or ahead of their five-year averages. Rain reduced suitable fieldwork days to 3.7 from 5.8 and lowered the share of topsoil rated short or very short from 46% to 37%; winter wheat planting reached 81%.
Harvest progress near or ahead of normal suggests little immediate risk of delayed crop availability in Missouri, while improved soil moisture eases dryness concerns. The state-level update is unlikely to shift national grain prices materially.
After 563 past neutral report events, Soybeans moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and -0.1% over 20.
After 770 past neutral report events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
After 406 past neutral report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.5%), and +0.0% over 20.
