Weekend weather brought needed rain to most of Wisconsin. USDA reporters say only the far northern and far southern regions had below normal precipitation. Topsoil moisture is now 66% adequate with 10% surplus, 16% short, and 8% very short with comparable subsoil moistures.
Until Friday, most of the state’s farmers were able to get in the fields most of the time.
Ninety-two percent of the state’s corn is silking and 42% is in the dough stage. Seventy-seven percent of the crop is rated good to excellent, up two points from a week ago.
