As we continue to watch progress in the fields this fall, DTN reports that “in an “average” year more than half the nation's corn crop would be harvested by now and about two-thirds of the soybean crop.”
However, they report that 2014 isn't an average year.
From DTN:
“This report should be viewed as neutral to bullish for corn as harvest progress continues to lag well behind its average pace,” said DTN Analyst Todd Hultman. “For soybeans, Monday's report should be viewed as neutral as harvest is slower than average, but continues to make good progress.”
