Unveiling the Insights of the USDA's Crop Progress Report

Winter Wheat Progress

The USDA's latest report provides detailed information about the winter wheat crop. As of Nov. 24, an astonishing 97% of winter wheat across the top 18 growing states had been planted. This marks a notable increase from 94% the previous week. However, it is slightly behind the five-year average of 98%.

Furthermore, 89% of the winter wheat across these top growing states was already out of the ground. This is a positive development as it was 84% the week prior and in line with the five-year average. These figures give us a clear picture of the progress made in the winter wheat sector.

Winter Wheat Crop Condition

On Nov. 24, the condition of the winter wheat crop in the top growing states was rated as follows. Good/Excellent accounted for 55%, which was an improvement from 49% the previous week. Fair stood at 33%, while Poor/Very Poor made up 12%. These ratings help us assess the overall health and quality of the winter wheat crop.

Comparing with the previous week's data, we can see that there were some shifts in the condition ratings. The increase in the Good/Excellent category and the slight decrease in the Poor/Very Poor category indicate that the winter wheat crop is generally progressing well.
