Ninety-six percent of corn in the top 18 producing states has now been harvest according to the USDA’s latest Crop Progress report released on Monday afternoon. Although this week’s progress is 8 percentage points above the five-year average, it is also behind last year’s pace.
This time last year 12 states reported 100 percent of corn harvested, and the four of the states were within 4 percentage points of being finished with harvest. This year, seven states have reported 100% of corn harvested with five states within 3 percentage points of being finished with the 2011 corn harvest season.
