Oct. 14, 2026 BrownfieldAgNews reports: U.S. corn and soybean harvest activity continues to move slower than average. Much of the Midwest and Plains did see generally drier conditions over the past week allowing activity to advance, but there was more rain and other issues in some areas, both inside and outside of the region.
