Harvest Update: Corn and Soybean Progress on Track With 2022

Rain showers slowed harvest for many farmers last week, but they’re still on schedule with last year’s pace.

According to USDA’s crop progress report, 59% of corn and 76% of soybeans have been harvested so far. At the same point in 2022, corn harvest was at 59%, while soybeans were slightly ahead at 78%.

Last week’s rain showers resulted in flooded corn fields for this western Iowa farmer.

Luckily, windy conditions have benefited those in similar situations.

A grower in Minnesota didn’t experience quite as much of a slowdown but is anticipating more showers later in the week.

While this weather would’ve been more welcome during the summer’s drought, many farmers are still seeing reasonable yields.

States that have harvested the most corn acres include North Carolina, Texas and Tennessee. Louisiana and Mississippi have harvested the most soybeans – with South Dakota right behind them.

It was a big week for North Dakota – progressing from 27% to 45% completion in corn acres and from 66% to 85% completion in soybean acres. Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska also reported productive weeks.

Looking toward the coming week for harvest conditions, BAMWX is forecasting quite a few hurdles with multiple rain chances and even snow for some northern states.
