Four of the top 18 corn-growing states have 65 percent or less of their corn crop harvested.
Successful Farming says of those top 18 states, Pennsylvania had the lowest percentage of corn harvested as of October 27, 2024, at 50 percent. That’s still ahead of their five-year average by six percentage points and further ahead of last year’s pace that saw 34 percent of the crop harvested by late October. Colorado had harvested 58 percent of its corn crop as of October 27 and was only one percentage point behind its five-year average pace. Michigan farmers had harvested 62 percent of their corn, dramatically outpacing the five-year average of 35 percent. At this time last year, only 28 percent of the crop was harvested. Wisconsin farmers had completed 65 percent of their corn harvest compared to a five-year average of 35 percent. Wisconsin farmers had 1.01 million acres still to harvest.
