The top three corn-producing states--which include Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska--were 34?7 percentage points ahead of their average harvest pace.

And the USDA says top 18 corn-producing states were 79 percent harvested--or about 41 points ahead of the average pace.

The top 18 soybean-producing states have harvested 71 percent of the soybean crop, 13 points ahead of the average pace.

Barge operators have indicated that truck deliveries to some river elevators have been brisk due to the fast harvest.

Meanwhile, the high trucking activity is causing some delays in unloading grain.
