Harvest in Illinois nears its conclusion - perhaps just in time as a lot of moisture makes its way through the area this week.

Last week, however, was warm and dry once again and State Crop Statistician Mark Schluessner notes over five days were suitable for fieldwork in Illinois.

The soybean harvest is ahead of schedule and is 95 percent complete. Schluessner notes the corn harvest is also 95 percent complete and it too is ahead of schedule.

Just three more crop reports remain for the calendar year 2024.
