As we enter October, harvest is rolling across much of the Corn Belt. Most Iowa and Illinois farmers are between 1-25% done with corn harvest, with pockets of further progress in southeast Iowa and western Illinois. Harvest progress remains limited in Minnesota and South Dakota.
Early yield results are variable, and disease management remains the biggest factor in those returns. The majority of the region is seeing 200-250 bu/A, with positive outliers in west central Illinois and northern Iowa.
