Minn. Soybean Harvest Nearly Complete

ST. PAUL (AP) ― Minnesota's soybean harvest is nearly complete for the year.

The USDA says another week of dry, mild weather helped farmers get soybeans 97 percent harvested statewide by Sunday.

More than six days were rated suitable for fieldwork.

Farmers were able to harvest 23 percent of the corn crop last week, bringing the statewide corn harvest to 66 percent complete. But the availability of propane -- and the drying time needed for wet corn -- slowed the harvest in parts of Minnesota.

Sunflower producers have brought the statewide harvest to 75 percent complete.
