Warm, dry conditions aid harvest progress in Ohio

Farmers were able to make harvest progress in Ohio last week because of warm and dry conditions.

Field conditions also allowed some farmers to plant winter wheat.

According to the latest USDA Crop and Weather report, 69 percent of the corn crop was mature, and 68 percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, both ahead of the five-year average.  And both corn and soybean harvest is 6 percent complete.

The fourth cutting of alfalfa hay was nearly 60 percent complete.
