– After two weeks of rapid harvest activity, wet and cold weather last week slowed progress across many areas of the US Corn Belt, according to the Crop Watch producers. The Nebraska corn was harvested over the weekend, leaving the Ohio corn as the last field standing, reports Reuters. Cooler weather is expected to dominate for at least the next week, and many areas will likely have to contend with more precipitation, especially in the Eastern Belt. But that moisture, if realized, would be very welcome in the parched Southern Plains. None of the Crop Watch growers reported disappointing yields in the latest week. The Iowa grower, who has been harvesting derecho-damaged corn this fall, said his recent fields have been the best so far when compared with expectations.
