Last week started out wet, but farmers were able to get into the fields this past weekend to continue the harvest.

The U.S.D.A. crop report says the soybean harvest is now nearly complete, while a good portion of the corn is still in the fields.

The report shows 93% of soybeans have been harvested, which is 2% behind the five-year average. The corn harvest did jump from 47% to 72% completed by the end of last week. It is still 17% behind the five-year average.
