A mostly-dry week allowed Wisconsin farmers to get in the fields to harvest more hay, corn silage, and get started on the soybean harvest in some areas.
USDA reporters say ninety-seven percent of the soybeans are coloring, which is ahead of average and 81% of the soybeans are dropping leaves. The soybean harvest is 11% finished, which is 3 days ahead of average.
Ninety-four percent of the corn is dented, with 69% mature, and 79% of the corn in good to excellent condition. The corn silage harvest is now 59% complete, which is about five days behind average.
