Old Man Winter Arrives Early in Wisconsin
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 11/18/2014

Crop farmers spent the past week either waiting for the snow to stop falling or were harvesting their crops in the midst of the winter like weather. The latest crop report showed that temperatures got as low as below zero in parts of northern Wisconsin. Not much snow fell in the southern third of the state, but some of those growers had to deal with muddy conditions.

With cold and snowy weather seemingly here to stay and grain moistures still running high, farmers were left with tough decisions to make about the remainder of this year's crop. Harvest activities forged ahead wherever standing crops were accessible. Manure spreading necessary to clear pits for winter was also going full force, though the operation was hampered by wet conditions in some areas.

As of Sunday, corn for grain was 64 percent harvested with grain moisture averaging 22 percent.

Ninety-three percent of soybeans had been harvested as of the weekend.

And winter wheat was 96 percent planted and 84 percent emerged. The condition of the wheat crop was rated 66 percent good to excellent.

Fall tillage was 60 percent complete, the report noted.
