Iowa’s 2026 harvest is progressing despite continued rain, with soybeans largely harvested and corn expected to finish by Thanksgiving. Local reports put corn yields mostly at 220–240 bushels per acre and soybean yields at 55–70 bushels, with wet conditions delaying fieldwork and causing some bean damage; yields are good but not records.
The account points to solid Iowa output, but wet conditions and localized storm damage have limited yields and delayed harvest. It suggests little supply pressure from a major crop loss, with local feed-grain availability likely adequate.
After 445 past neutral weather events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
After 324 past neutral weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.7%), and +0.7% over 20.
