ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) Cold, wet weather continues to hamper Minnesota farmers as they work on the fall harvest.
The USDA's weekly crop report for Minnesota says most fields were too wet to harvest last week. Statewide, less than two days were suitable for fieldwork.
Only 3 percent of the corn crop has been harvested, compared with 17 percent at this time last year and the five-year average of 31 percent.
Soybeans were 34 percent harvested, compared with 81 percent last year and an 83 percent average.
The sugar beet harvest also has been slowed. Sixty percent of sugar beets have been harvested, compared with last year's pace of 77 percent and an average of 81 percent.
