9% of Ohio corn, 24% of soybeans harvested

The USDA says Ohio farmers made modest harvest progress last week despite relatively high corn moisture levels.

Nine percent of corn was harvested as of Sunday, below the five-year average pace of 16%, with 63% of the crop mature and 95% dented.

Soybeans harvested reached 24% completion, down from 30% on average, with 92% of the crop dropping leaves.

USDA says 31% of the state’s expected winter wheat crop has been planted and 4% has emerged.
