DES MOINES, Iowa (May 24, 2021) – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig today commented on the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. The report is released weekly from April through November.

The weekly report is also available on the USDA’s website at nass.usda.gov.
