Wisconsin farmers put up a lot of hay last week, while wondering when their other crops might see some much-needed rain. USDA reporters say dry conditions worsened in southern and southeastern Wisconsin as most of the state had little or no precipitation in the week ending Sunday.
Topsoil moisture is only 64% adequate, with 24% short on moisture and 9% very short.
Many farmers around the Badger state had to replant some frost-damaged corn and soybeans last week, too.
