Harvest Progress St. Charles MO

I made a run to St. Charles County, Missouri today to try to sample some new ground.  It started to drizzle before I go there and never really quit.  I did not see any corn that was not harvested.  Soybean harvest is 10 days to 2 weeks away.  Almost all the farmland I drove past is Mississippi - Missouri River bottomland.  Most of it was chisel plowed as well.

Illinois weather and crop report says 69% of corn is harvested in the West Southwest region.  That is the part of Illinois where I am located and travel through.  That number seemed correct based on my path today.
