OMAHA (DTN) -- U.S. corn was 84% harvested compared to the five-year average of 78%, and soybeans were 87% harvested, slightly behind the five-year average of 88%, as of Sunday, Nov. 7, USDA NASS said in its weekly Crop Progress report on Monday.

Winter wheat planting was 91%, equal to the five-year average; 74% of the crop was emerged compared to the average of 77%. Winter wheat condition was rated 45% good to excellent, which is the same as the previous week.

As mentioned above, soybean harvest progressed only 8 percentage points last week to reach 87% complete as of Sunday, Nov. 7; that's 4 percentage points behind this time last year.

"Progress in Michigan was 14 percentage points below its five-year average, Indiana was 12 points below and harvest progress in Tennessee was 10 percentage points below its five-year pace," DTN Lead Analyst Todd Hultman said.

Meanwhile, corn harvest progressed 10 percentage points from last week to reach 84% complete, which is 6 percentage points behind this time last year.

"States a little behind their normal paces include Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee." Hultman added.

Winter wheat planting, at 91% complete, is 1 percentage point behind this time last year. Winter wheat emerged, pegged at 74%, is 4 percentage points behind this time last year.

"Soft red winter wheat is at risk of not finishing planting this year in Illinois, Ohio and Michigan where progress is below the five-year averages by 11 percentage points, 10 points and 8 points, respectively," Hultman noted.

As mentioned, NASS estimated the crop's condition at 45% good to excellent, which is tied for the third lowest since 2010.
