Rain kept Wisconsin farmers out of the fields for much of the week, but it did help replenish soil moisture levels. Most of Wisconsin received at least one inch of rain last week, with a band across central Wisconsin receiving more than five inches of rain. Ninety-six percent of the corn is mature with 35% of the corn for grain harvested as of Sunday. Also, 97% of potatoes is harvested.
According to Tom Lochner from the Wisconsin Cranberry Growers Association, most of their growers are nearing the end of harvest. “There’s just a few growers going yet. I think overall, it was a pretty decent crop for Wisconsin. I think it was up a little bit from the estimates, but you know, closer to an average crop and maybe a little bit above.”
