The 2019 harvest season progressed nicely in the past week, based on numbers from USDA’s [Crop Progress report for the week ending November 10](https://downloads.usda.library.cornell.edu/usda-esmis/files/8336h188j/9p290q926/vx021v79h/prog4619.pdf).

Once again, cotton harvest is the only report for cotton. It showed that 62% of the U.S. crop has now been harvested – a 9% increase in the past week and 3% of the 5-year average for this date.

All cotton producing states showed strong progress leading into the current cold weather pattern, with increases of 5% or more in all states – led by Oklahoma (up 17%), North Carolina (up 15%) and Missouri and Virginia (both up 11%).

In all, nine states are either on or above their 5-year average.
