A week of dry weather helped farmers advance #corn #harvest to 33% complete and #soybean harvest to 46% complete, though both remained slightly behind the five-year average, according to @usda_nass.

NASS estimated that 33% of corn had been harvested nationally as of Oct. 11, 6 percentage points behind the five-year average of 39%, and 46% of soybeans had been harvested, 4 percentage points behind the five-year average of 50%.
A week of dry weather helped farmers advance corn and soybean harvests, though both remained slightly behind the five-year average, according to USDA NASS's weekly #CropProgressReport released Tuesday.
The report, which is normally released on Mondays, was delayed this week due to the Columbus Day holiday.

Indiana never fails to show off, especially during harvest season.

There’s something about sunny fall days with combines in the field that never gets old. We’re thankful for this beautiful weather!

The national corn crop continued its downward trend last week, with its good-to-excellent rating dropping 3 percentage points, while soybean ratings also declined, according to USDA NASS's weekly Crop Progress report released Monday.

Corn and soybean ratings both declined last week, according to USDA NASS's weekly #CropProgressReport released on Monday.
Corn was 86% in the dough stage, 45% dented, mature was 6% and 57% of the crop was rated in good-to-excellent condition.

@PlantCoverCrops Surprisingly, Indiana’s ratings didn’t drop as much as I expected. I would assume the weather events were already reflected in last week’s report.
NASS estimated that 60% of the corn crop was in good-to-excellent condition, down 1 percentage point from the previous week of 61% and 11 percentage points below last year's 71%.

I talked with farmers, agronomists and Purdue Extension specialists across Indiana about this year’s corn and soybean crops.
The takeaway? Localized and variable.
Here’s what they’re seeing in the fields. ⬇️
#corn #soybeans #yield #Indiana
Indiana's corn and soybean crops have been shaped by highly localized weather this year, with heavy rainfall creating challenges in some areas while other fields have maintained strong yield potential.

Fingers crossed the rain stays away, so we can wrap up corn and soybean planting this week in northern Indiana. @AgVentureInc

And early Tuesday morning, Jan. 27, I found out it's closing. The Agricultural Education program continues, but the Communication side is done and closing in June.

Purdue Agricultural Sciences Education and Communication Department is closing due to low enrollment.

Another day, another field from a few weeks ago.
We’re thankful for the little bit of rain that came through yesterday in northern Indiana. It wasn’t much, but grateful for every drop.
We’re back at it already for 🌽 harvest today.

And we wouldn’t have it any other way. 💚
Soybean harvest is wrapping up today, and it’s been extremely dry here in northern Indiana. 🌱

A USDA news release that was not attributed to an official said, "The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the termination of future Household Food Security Reports. These redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous studies do nothing more than fear-monger."
The Trump administration announced Saturday that USDA will no longer publish reports on household food insecurity, a decision that was immediately denounced by the anti-hunger movement.
