Wisconsin enjoyed a week of mostly sunny conditions that led to ideal haying and combining weather. USDA reporters say rain is needed in parts of western Wisconsin, but few scattered showers and a couple of local soaking rains helped crops elsewhere.
Eighty-one percent of Wisconsin’s corn is in good to excellent condition, unchanged from last week. Corn is four days ahead of average with 93% silking and 38% in dough stage.
Eighty-three percent of the state’s soybeans are in good to excellent condition, with 94% blooming, and 73% setting pods.
