Soggy fall continues to frustrate Minn. farmers
The soggy fall continues to frustrate Minnesota farmers at harvest time.

The soggy fall continues to frustrate Minnesota farmers at harvest time.
The weekly crop and weather report released Monday says soybeans are 56 percent harvested compared to 96 percent last year and the five-year average of 97 percent.
It's much the same with corn, with 12 percent harvested. That's 39 points behind last year and 57 points behind the five-year average.
The report from the Minnesota field office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture says 55 percent of the state's topsoil is rated surplus for moisture after another cool, wet week.
Statewide, just over 2 days were suitable for fieldwork as rain and snow returned Wednesday night.
The report says precipitation amounts ranged from under a half-inch in Winona to over 2 inches in International Falls.
