Another week of above normal temperatures and frequent rains slowed fieldwork in Wisconsin last week, but allowed crops mature.
As of Sunday, 16% of the corn crop is mature, 18 days behind
the five-year average. The crop is rated 69% good to excellent, up 6 percentage
points from last week. One quarter of corn for silage harvest is complete.
Soybeans dropping leaves reached 42% and soybean harvest
began with 1% complete.
