Planters are rolling in parts of Wisconsin, but heavy soil and recent rains are making it difficult to finish in some areas.
Former State Farmers Union President Darrin Von Ruden farms in southwestern Wisconsin in the driftless area hills near Westby. He tells Brownfield, “Right now, the only place that there’s any fieldwork being done is around the sands of the Sparta and Tomah area. Up on the ridge tops, the clay and heavier soils have just been too wet.”
Von Ruden says his farm received rain Monday night and he was hoping the sun would come out Tuesday to dry the fields.
