They're now up to 65 per cent done.

That's 8 points behind the five year average.

Soybeans are 83 per cent harvested.

That's right on the five year average.

The USDA says 90 per cent of the winter wheat crop is now planted - 1 point ahead of the five year average.

The department's condition rating for winter wheat remains the same as it was last week - 59 per cent good to excellent.

That's 4 points behind last year's rating for this time of the year.
