Wisconsin’s farmers had a nearly perfect week for fieldwork, as dry conditions allowed tillage and planting, but prevented emergence of the new crops.
The state had scattered light weekend rains and some hard freezes in the north, but no significant rain events.
Spring tillage is 93% finished, about two-and-a-half weeks ahead of average.
Seventy-eight percent of Wisconsin’s corn is planted, and that’s about 11% ahead of average.
Sixty-three percent of the state’s soybeans are in the ground, and that’s 13 days ahead of average.
