Fall harvesting has wrapped up as we hear in the last weekly crop report of the season.

Corn and soybeans are out of the ground and 98% of winter wheat has been planted both temperatures and rainfall were below normal this past week, leaving more than five days suitable for fieldwork says crop statistician Mark Schleusener.

“Winter wheat planting reached 98% finished compared to 99% last year and 100% normally.  92% of the wheat acres have emerged compared to 95% normally.  Wheat condition declined slightly to 6% very poor to poor, 12% fair and 82 percent good to excellent.”

Pasture conditions also declined slightly, with 55% of acres rated rated in good to excellent condition.
