Five of the eight U.S. Crop Watch soybean fields were harvested between Tuesday and Wednesday, and the final yield score was better than predicted in four of those cases -– the fifth field already had the maximum expectation, Reuters reports.
That contrasts with the earlier three bean fields in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, where final yields fell short of the prediction. Three of the eight corn fields have been harvested, though none in the latest week, and the remaining five should be completed within the next two weeks.
Growers generally reported rapid harvest progress for soybeans last week, more than in prior weeks. Most of the soybean fields in the Crop Watch areas have been completed, though a decent amount of corn remains.
