While the corn harvest has moved along quickly, it is taking a little longer to get soybeans out of the fields across the state.

According to the USDA Crop Progress and Condition Report, farmers had 4.3 days suitable for fieldwork last week, the lowest number since early July. Despite the wet weather, the corn silage harvest remains 10 percentage points ahead of the five-year average at 87% complete. Approximately 72% of the corn crop is considered mature, 2 percentage points ahead of the average.

Soybean leaf drop is also slightly ahead of average at 88%, but only 11% of the crop has been harvested, 16 percentage points behind the average.

Adam Barta of Rio Creek Feed Mill says soybeans are starting to arrive at the company's facilities, adding that quality will depend on field locations and soil types.

Barta says with the corn silage harvest wrapping up so quickly this year, he expects much greener fields this fall and winter as cover crops take hold.

Winter wheat planting is also behind schedule, with 48% of the crop planted, about 10 percentage points behind the average.
