Most Wisconsin crops remain dry

Most Wisconsin crops remain dry

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.
