Soggy fields and more rain continue to hold up South Dakota's row-crop harvest.
The weekly crop report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture says statewide last week, there were only two days suitable for field work.
Precipitation was heaviest in eastern portions of the state and in a band from Shannon County to Faulk County. Yankton reported the most precipitation for the week at 2.6 inches.
The report says 40 percent of the soybean crop had been harvested as of Sunday. The five-year average is 88 percent. The corn harvest also is creeping along and is now 9 percent complete, which is far behind the five-year average of 38 percent.
