Nebraska’s soybean harvest reached 90% as of November 8, compared with a five-year average of 93%, while corn harvest was 74% complete against an 84% average. Sorghum harvest was further behind at 54% versus its five-year average of 79%; winter wheat planting and emergence were ahead of average and most of the crop was rated good to excellent.
Harvest delays can postpone the movement of grain into nearby markets and temporarily support local basis, but the report gives progress figures rather than evidence of crop losses. The favorable winter wheat condition offers no clear supply threat at this stage.
