Arkansas soybean harvest close to finish, Mississippi River at Memphis shrinks again
JONESBORO, Ark. — While drought has sped Arkansas’ harvests this fall, it could slow grain exports through the lower Mississippi River. “Fortunately for us, our harvest is about done,” said Scott Stiles, extension economics program associate for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, referring to the Oct. 19 U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Crop Progress […] Arkansas's soybean harvest is almost finished, with soybeans and cotton expected to be finished before Halloween. This could potentially slow grain exports through the lower Mississippi River. Cotton's five-year average is 53 percent. Soybeans were ahead of the five-years average of 69 percent. Cotton harvest progress took a near 20 percent jump from last week's report, according to Zachary Treadway, extension cotton and peanut agronomist for UADA. The weather also helped move peanuts to 34 percent harvested, still behind the five year average of 38%. Despite low Mississippi River levels, researchers have linked low levels to weakened basis for crops brought to elevators near the river.
