Rain, snow continues to delay ND harvest

Rain and snow continue to delay the harvest of late season crops in North Dakota.

FARGO, N.D. —

Rain and snow continue to delay the harvest of late season crops in North Dakota.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says statewide, on average, there were three days suitable for field work last week.

Soybeans, sugar beet and dry edible bean harvests made modest progress. The soybean harvest is now 36 percent complete, which is behind the average of 92 percent.

Corn and sunflower harvests are both well behind average.

Corn harvested for grain remained at 2 percent complete, while sunflowers were 10 percent harvested.

The USDA says the state's corn crop going into this week rated 59 percent in good or excellent condition.
