Iowa farmers take advantage of another harvest window

Iowa farmers take advantage of another harvest window

Dry and warm conditions provided another good harvest window for Iowa farmers last week.

Brent Renner grows corn and soybeans near Klemme in the north-central part of the state.

“We wrapped up soybeans over a week ago, right before that last rain we had. And making good progress on corn.”

USDA’s latest crop progress report says soybeans are 87 percent harvested.  That’s one day ahead of last year and ten days ahead of the five-year average.
