Corn harvest was 52% complete across 18 states in the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service’s Crop Progress report released on 19 October. Those states account for 93% of 2025 corn acreage. The pace was ahead of 44% a week earlier and the 2021–2025 average of 33%. A figure for the corresponding week last year was not available.

Soybean harvest reached 77% across 18 states representing 96% of 2025 planted acreage. The figure was 64% the previous week and above the five-year average of 46%; no year-earlier comparison was available for the corresponding week. The report measures progress as the share of acreage harvested in selected states, not as a production or yield estimate. Some 2025 comparisons are unavailable because Crop Progress reports were cancelled during last year’s federal funding lapse.
