Wet, overcast weather stopped harvest progress. Strong winds and clear skies for the past two days have helped.Fields are very muddy so use patience to avoid damage to soil profile. Early yield reports have soybeans around 60 bu/ac and corn around 190 bu/ac. Grain markets may improve if harvest continues to be delayed. Be observant of the market changes caused by the upcoming USDA report on Friday the tenth.
