Wisconsin farmers focused on chopping corn silage and fourth-crop hay. It was a cool week with daytime highs in the 60’s and 70’s, and some overnight lows dipping into the 30’s with scattered thunderstorms bringing small amounts of moisture.
The central sands region is behind the rest of the state on fourth-crop hay, with only 26% cut. Nearly half of the fourth-crop is harvested elsewhere in Wisconsin.
Ninety-four percent of Wisconsin’s corn is now at or beyond the dough stage and 65% of the corn is dented. Seventy-eight percent of the state’s corn is rated good to excellent.
