NEBRASKA CROP PROGRESS AND CONDITION
For the week ending November 10, 2013, snow in western counties and rain in the east limited harvest progress during the first half of the week, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Grain moisture continued to remain above safe storage levels in a number of counties which also slowed the move to harvest completion. Most of the remaining unharvested corn acres were in the northern districts. Statewide, producers had 4.2 days suitable for fieldwork. Topsoil moisture supplies rated 5 percent very short, 19 short, 75 adequate, and 1 surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated 13 percent very short, 33 short, 54 adequate, and 0 surplus.
Field Crops Report:
Corn harvested was 81 percent, well behind 100 last year but ahead of 76 average. Sorghum harvest was 91 percent complete, behind 98 last year but well ahead of 73 average. Winter wheat condition rated 1 percent very poor, 4 poor, 27 fair, 60 good, and 8 excellent, well above year
ago levels.
Livestock, Pasture and Range Report:
Stock water supplies rated 3 percent very short, 11 short, 85 adequate, and 1 surplus. Pasture and range condition was 14 percent very poor, 23 poor, 33 fair, 28 good, and 2 excellent.

Iowa Corn Harvest Advances 13 Percentage Points in a Week
Corn harvest advanced to 88 percent complete in Iowa during the week ending November 10, 2013, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 4.7 days suitable for fieldwork. Other activities for the week included the application of anhydrous ammonia and fertilizers. High moisture corn was a concern for farmers with fields left to be harvested.
Above normal precipitation during the week improved soil moisture levels. Topsoil moisture levels rated 10 percent very short, 27 percent short, 61 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 23 percent very short, 36 percent short, 40 percent adequate and 1 percent surplus. Grain movement from farm to elevator was rated 51 percent moderate to heavy. Ninety-five percent of Iowa reported adequate or surplus off-farm grain storage availability and 85 percent reported adequate or surplus on-farm grain storage availability.
Iowa farmers harvested 13 percent of their corn for grain or seed during the week advancing harvest to 88 percent complete, 8 percentage points ahead of normal. Soybean harvest was 98 percent complete, 3 days ahead of normal.
Pasture condition rated 19 percent very poor, 29 percent poor, 33 percent fair, 17 percent good and 2 percent excellent. Hay supplies were considered 14 percent short, 77 percent adequate, and 9 percent surplus across Iowa with over 90 percent rated in fair to good condition.
IOWA PRELIMINARY WEATHER SUMMARY
Provided by Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship
The primary weather event of the past reporting week was the widespread precipitation event occurring from Tuesday (5th) morning to Wednesday (6th) morning. This event came in the form of rain over most of Iowa and two to four inches of snow over the extreme northwest. Heaviest rain fell in northeast Iowa where numerous locations received over one and one-half inches. Otherwise there was some light rain from south central into northeast Iowa Monday (4th). The rest of the week was dry. Postville reported the most rain with 1.86 inches while the extreme northwest and southeast corners of the state were the driest with 0.33 inches of rain at Keokuk and 0.26 inches of precipitation (in the form of 3 inches of snow) at Rock Rapids. The statewide average precipitation was 0.91 inches while normal for the week is 0.52 inches. Thanks to another widespread precipitation event on October 30, this marks the first time that Iowa has recorded consecutive wetter than normal weeks since late May. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 0.6 degrees below normal. Daytime highs were mostly in the 40’s from Tuesday through Friday over northern Iowa but occasionally climbed into the 60’s over portions of the south on Friday and Saturday. Temperature extremes varied from a Thursday morning low of 15 degrees at Sioux Center to a Friday afternoon high of 67 degrees at Red Oak. Finally, soil temperatures as of Sunday (10th) were averaging in the upper 30’s northwest to mid 40’s southeast. Snow-covered ground impeded fieldwork over the far northwest from Tuesday until the last of the snow melted on Friday morning.
