Wet Fields Slow Harvest In Midwest Grain Delay
Farmers across the Midwest face a slow harvest due to persistent moisture and cool, wet weather. Bozworth estimates 40-50 percent of corn and soybeans harvested in the belt, with some areas like Ottawa around 40 percent done. Yields remain strong but quality deteriorates as grain stays in fields and mold appears in soybeans. Harvest is expected to extend through winter with many elevators reporting wet grain and limited drying capacity.
