Cool, wet weather keeps Wisconsin farmers out of the fields

Cool, wet weather keeps Wisconsin farmers out of the fields

Wisconsin might be wet, cool, and in some places snowy, but spring is on the way. A sure sign of that is USDA has resumed their weekly crop progress and condition reports.

Wisconsin’s National Ag Statistics Service statistician Greg Bussler says Wisconsin had barely half of a day last week suitable for field work thanks to heavy snow accumulation in the north and wet conditions nearly everywhere else.

There is no shortage of topsoil or subsoil moisture, with topsoil moisture rated 55% adequate and 45% surplus.
