"Nebraska and North Dakota are finished harvesting soybeans," Hultman said. "South Dakota and Minnesota are 99% harvested. Iowa is 98% done, and Illinois is at 96%."
Winter wheat planting also inched ahead last week, gaining another 4 percentage points to reach 93% as of Sunday. That is 2 percentage points ahead of the five-year average of 91%. An estimated 79% of winter wheat had emerged, 1 percentage point ahead of the five-year average of 78%.
