Successful Farming
The first state to complete the 2024 soybean harvest was a surprise: Minnesota has finished harvest, the USDA said in the latest Crop Progress Report, released Nov. 4. The state was 5 percentage points ahead of its five-year average for Nov. 3.
This is a change from 2023, when Louisiana was the first state to get all of its soybeans in the bin.
