Dry, warmer days last week allowed producers to continue to make progress in the fields as we hear in this weekly crop report.

Crop Statistician Mark Schluessner says nearly five days were suitable for fieldwork last week.

Corn harvest is 70 percent complete while the soybean harvest is 80 percent complete. Both are ahead of last year's and the five-year average.

Winter wheat continues. Schluessner says pasture conditions saw zero percent in excellent condition.

USDA-NAS will soon begin collecting corn and soybean yield data from producers across the country so Schluessner hopes they will be prepared for those outreach efforts in the near future.
