Scattered rains brought little relief to Wisconsin crops last week. USDA statistician Greg Bussler says there were reports of severe weather damaging crops in northwestern Wisconsin with some fields being a total loss. One of those storms centered in Barron County included large hail.
Forty-three percent of Wisconsin’s topsoil remains short of moisture, with just 38% adequate and 23% very short. There are no reports of excess moisture in Wisconsin. Subsoil moisture levels are similar.
