Missouri soybean harvest takes a big jump
Nearly 900-thousand acres of soybeans were harvested in Missouri last week, which had virtually no rain. The Missouri Ag Statistics field office says harvest as of Sunday was 79 percent complete, a week behind last year but on pace with normal. Ninety-six percent of soybeans were mature, also a bit behind last year.
Cotton and sorghum harvest are a few days behind last year but ahead of the five-year average.
Eighty-three percent to winter wheat was planted, ahead of average. Emergence is ahead of normal and the same as last year at 60 percent. Ninety-one percent of the Missouri winter wheat crop is in fair to good condition.
Temperatures last week were three to seven degrees below average in the state.
