KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, U.S. — The pace of the corn harvest remains well behind normal in the Midwestern states, where the bulk of the crop is grown. The soybean crop harvest’s progress was near average. In the 18 major producing states, corn was 84% harvested by Nov. 24, advancing from 76% a week earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its latest Crop Progress report. That was noticeably behind 93% a year earlier and 96% as the five-year average for the date.
