The latest USDA crop report says warm weather helped crops mature and the early harvest is running ahead of last year.

The report says 15% of the corn is harvested statewide, which is four days ahead of last year and three ahead of five-year average. The southeast district leads with 32% of the corn harvested, followed by 23% in the southwest and 21% in the central district.

The northeast and west-central districts are the only ones not in double digits. The statewide soybean harvest is at 17%, three days ahead of last year and two ahead of average.

The northwest district has the most beans in the bin at 25%, with the central and west central next at 19%.

All districts are in double digit percentages for beans.
