Let early this week slowed the final corn harvest, especially in Ohio, and a widespread cold snap is on tap after mid-week, an agricultural meteorologist said on Wednesday."Harvest is mostly complete. Still some corn to harvest in Ohio and they were slowed by rains early this week," said Andy Karst, meteorologist for World Weather Inc.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) late on Monday said 96 per cent of the U.S. soybean harvest was complete and 93 percent of the corn had been harvested."There is another round of rain early next week, Sunday through Tuesday in the east but they should be about through with harvest by then," he said.Karst said a widespread freeze was expected in the Midwest and Northern Plains starting Thursday, extending into Kansas, but there was no concern about harm to crops or livestock.
Corn harvest in Ohio was 51 per cent complete, behind the 79 per cent five-year average, according to the USDA.
