Wet weather continues to stall fall harvest in Nebraska and officials say they haven't seen these kind of delays in decades.

The latest weekly crop report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture says the corn harvest is four weeks behind the average and is the latest harvest since 1967. It's 18 percent complete.

The soybean harvest was more than two-thirds complete, but is now more than two weeks behind. It's the latest harvest since 1984.

Most areas of the state received an inch or more of moisture last week.

The USDA says the state's corn crop going into this week rated 80 percent in good or excellent condition, above last year's 77 percent good or excellent rating.
