Wisconsin farmers are continuing to struggle to complete fieldwork. USDA reporters say only 1.7 days were suitable for entering fields, and spring tillage is only 8 percent finished. That’s almost three weeks behind last year and 11 days behind average.
Most corn and soybean planting is on hold, but 8% of the oats and 13% of the potatoes are planted as of Sunday.
Topsoil moistures in Wisconsin are 66% adequate and 25% surplus, with subsoil moistures 70% adequate and 17% surplus. Temperatures remained below normal all week.
