Sunflower harvest continues to inch closer to the finish line for this season. Very favorable weather conditions in the past week allowed sunflower producers to make good harvest progress. Harvest progress advanced 4% to 95% complete for the week ending November 28. Last year at this same time 97% of the crop was in the bin. Harvest progress remains 8% ahead of the five-year average. In the past week, producers harvested an additional 40,340 acres pushing 2021 harvested acres to about 1,077,000 acres. Crop quality remains very good, and yields continue to trend above expectations in most cases. 2022 new crop confection contracts are available at the processing plants. Red River Commodities is offering new crop contracts for oils, conoils, confection and organic conoils. New crop confection and conoil contracts are also available with CHS Sunflower. Other confection processors are expected to announce new crop contracting opportunities soon if they have not already done so. In the near term, harvest progress, and crop quality will continue to be key to prices going forward.
