Corn harvest increased only 3% last week across state from 6% to 9%. Soybeans went from 30% to 40% harvested and milo only went from 24% to 26%. Temps are cooler across state and rains over last 2 weeks have not helped harvest conditions improve much. Hunters are finding best hunting during last hour of daylight as birds move from corn to roosting cover.
