The latest U.S.D.A. crop report shows one part of the state is much closer to finishing up the harvest than others.

The report shows the northeast and south-central regions of Iowa both are under 40% percent when it comes to the corn harvested — while 82% of the corn is already sitting in bins in northwest Iowa.

The overall corn harvest is 59% complete — which is one day ahead of last year and eight days ahead of the five-year average.

The report says the soybean harvest reached 88% complete — which is 11 days ahead of the average.
