Illinois corn harvest nearing finish earlier than average
More than 85 percent of the Illinois corn crop has been picked, per the Illinois Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. The figure tops the 1957–61 average of just over half and last year’s 70 percent on the same date. With favorable harvesting weather, the harvest is likely to finish about three weeks earlier than average.
