OMAHA (DTN) -- U.S. winter wheat conditions held steady last week compared to the previous week, according to the last weekly USDA Crop Progress report of 2016 released Monday.
USDA reported 92% of the winter wheat crop had emerged as of Sunday, even with a year ago and even with the five-year average of 92% emerged.
"Fifty-eight percent of the winter wheat crop was rated good to excellent, resulting in keeping DTN's Winter Wheat Condition Index unchanged at 147. The index is up from 146 a year ago and above the five-year average of 132. Monday's report is neutral for winter wheat," said DTN Analyst Todd Hultman.
Corn harvest is complete in most states with USDA no longer reporting national harvest progress this week.
Cotton harvest, at 77% complete, continued to lag behind the average pace of 84%. Sorghum harvest was 96% complete, near 97% last year and equal to the five-year average.
USDA will resume its weekly Crop Progress reports on Monday, April 3, 2017.
