Tough Soybean Harvest

Posted: 28 Nov 2018 05:35 AM

Getting the agricultural crops harvested this fall has been tough. Snow, cold, and heavy rainfall have made for a limited number of days this season with good harvest conditions. The featured chart depicts USDA NASS soybean crop harvest estimates for Iowa. The white X for each year denotes the location of 98% completion, which is where 2018 currently stands. Only a few years since 1981 show up with a progress slower than this year. The most recent comparable year is 2009.
