Wisconsin farmers received some much-needed rain over the past four days, but some farmers got more than they immediately needed.
Crawford County in Southwestern Wisconsin’s driftless area was one area categorized by the National Weather Service as having severe drought just over a week ago and received a lot of rain Friday night. Jody Riley farms on a ridge southeast of Gays Mills. “Four and a half is what we got. We had had about an inch and a half, inch and six-tenths I don’t know, a week or eight days before that but yeah, we got about four and a half there on Friday night.”
Riley tells Brownfield a nearby farmer friend had a lot more rain.
