The crops have done well so far for a Darlington, Wisconsin farmer. Mike Berget grows 95-hundred acres of corn, 27-hundred acres of soybeans, and 200 acres of winter wheat about ten miles north of the Wisconsin-Illinois border. He tells Brownfield it has been a good year. “I’ve got a few farms that got knocked down, but overall, the crops, not a lot of disease problems and the crop looks pretty good.”
Berget says he has had a few very minor crop disease issues, and he’s feeling very fortunate to have missed the derecho storm two weeks ago.
