OMAHA (DTN) -- Farmers made continued progress in the fields last week,
pushing soybean harvest ahead of its five-year average, while corn harvest
remained slightly behind, according to USDA NASS's weekly Crop Progress report
released on Monday.
Multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms will move across the country this
week, potentially slowing fieldwork in parts of the Plains and Midwest while
providing beneficial moisture for winter crops and forages, according to DTN Ag
Meteorologist John Baranick.
CORN
-- Harvest progress: NASS estimated that 74% of corn had been harvested
nationally as of Nov. 1, 3 percentage points behind the five-year average of
77%. Key producing states Illinois and Iowa were 86% and 66%, respectively,
with Iowa 13 percentage points behind its five-year average. Michigan was 43%
harvested and Nebraska 66%, both lagging their averages, according to DTN
Senior Analyst Dana Mantini.
SOYBEANS
-- Harvest progress: NASS estimated that 88% of soybeans had been harvested
as of Sunday, 4 percentage points ahead of the five-year average of 84%.
Illinois was 91% harvested, while Iowa was 90% harvested, equal to its
five-year average, Mantini said.
WINTER WHEAT
-- Planting progress: Winter wheat planting was estimated at 83% complete
nationally, 1 percentage point behind the five-year average of 84%.
-- Crop development: Winter wheat emerged was estimated at 65%, steady with
the five-year average.
-- Crop condition: In its first condition rating of the 2027 winter wheat
crop, USDA NASS estimated that 44% of the crop that had emerged was in
good-to-excellent condition. In Kansas, 47% of the crop was rated good to
excellent, while 20% was rated very poor to poor.
THE WEEK AHEAD IN WEATHER
Several weather systems will bring rain and thunderstorms across much of the
country this week, with some areas facing fieldworks delays but little threat
of significant cold air, according to DTN Ag Meteorologist John Baranick.
"This week may be difficult for some producers to get out into their
fields," Baranick said. "A system that went through the West on Sunday is
moving through the Plains on Monday and will continue eastward for the rest of
the week in a couple of pulses. Widespread rain and thunderstorms will move
through the country. Lots of rainfall near an inch is expected, but areas in
the Upper Midwest will get in on two of the pulses that could push totals over
two inches, and some areas with thunderstorms could see some heavy rain as
well. So, there will be spots where fieldwork is bogged down this week, but for
many, it will be a brief disruption. And those that have winter crops and
forages will enjoy a nice burst of rain as well. Another small system will move
through like a clipper across the Northern Plains and Midwest this weekend with
some scattered showers, but not a lot of rain.
"It should be noted that I mentioned rain because there isn't really any
significant cold air to be found. It is extremely warm ahead of the system this
week, and near normal behind it. It'll be a big drop for a lot of areas, but
nothing that really resembles cold air for early November."
