Soybean harvest has been complete in northwest/north central Iowa for a couple of weeks. 

Corn harvest is wrapping up also. I would guess that there is about 15% of the corn that is yet to be harvested.

We have experienced a very warm and dry harvest season. I checked the mesonet and found that we were about 115 Growing Degree Days (GDDs) above normal for September. Most of that surplus occurred in late September – which was very timely since a lot of corn was mature by mid September.
