Another dry week across Minnesota

Another dry week aided fieldwork in Minnesota but soil moisture concerns are rising.

USDA’s latest weekly crop update says subsoil moisture supplies are nearly 60 percent short to very short.

Corn harvest advanced to 92 percent, on pace with last year and almost two weeks ahead of the five-year average.

Corn moisture content is averaging 16 percent.

Sunflowers are 87 percent harvested, eight days slower than a year ago but a week faster than normal.
