A cool and relatively dry week allowed Wisconsin farmers to make hay, while other crops continued to mature. Parts of the eastern half of the state received between 1 and two-and-a-half inches of rain.
USDA reporters say the 2nd cutting of alfalfa hay is now 93% finished, and the 3rd cutting is 38% finished, which is about 8 days ahead of last year but a day behind average. Eighty percent of Wisconsin’s hay is in good to excellent condition.
