Iowa’s corn harvest at 92 percent

The finish line is in sight for Iowa’s corn harvest.

As of Sunday, 92 percent of Iowa’s corn crop was harvested, eight days behind the five-year average.

“Harvest progress continued across much of the state with some Iowa farmers finishing combining and completing other fall field work, including construction of conservation practices,” said Mike Naig, Iowa deputy secretary of agriculture. “There is still harvest work to be done across the state, especially in northeast, southwest and south-central Iowa where 15 percent of corn is still in the field.”
