Combines are rolling across the U.S. as the 2023 harvest season is underway.
Farmers are about 5 percent through the harvest, the USDA’s Sept. 12 Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin says. This is on par with harvest progress at this time in 2022.
U.S. farmers planted about 94.1 million acres of corn in 2023, meaning producers have harvested about 4.7 million acres of corn as of Sept. 12.
