NE corn harvest nears 50 percent mark

Nebraska’s corn harvest advanced 18 percentage points last week, now 48 percent complete.  That’s still considerably behind the normal harvest pace of 86 percent.

The sorghum harvest, at 44 percent complete, is about half the five-year average of 87 percent.  Meanwhile, soybean harvest is nearly complete, with 97 percent of the soybeans harvested as of Sunday.
