Farmers focused on soybean harvest for at least three very good reasons again this week. Soybeans tended to dry down quicker than corn at many locations this season, many wheat growers cut beans to plant wheat in a timely manner and many farmers wanted to get soybeans out ahead of threatening weather. Farmers cut 69% of the soybean crop as of the first of the week, just 13 points behind average. (FarmWeekNow)
