As Thanksgiving approaches the 2017 harvest is slowly beginning to come to a close in Ohio.
The most recent USDA report shows that 71% of Ohio corn is in the bin, considerably behind the most recent 5 year average of 85%. Last year 89% of the corn had been harvested by November 12.
Nationwide harvest is 83% complete for the 18 top producing states, compared to 92% last year and a most recent 5 year average of 91%.
