GREAT GROWING SEASON

Despite some unseasonably cool weather, it has been good growing season so far, says UW-Extension Crops and Soils agent Richard Halopka.
We haven’t been as dry as in recent years, and while we’re definitely lacking in warmth, it could be a blessing in disguise. Excessive heat would probably cause more crop stress this summer, he says.
We’ve had about 729 growing degree-days in May and June, well below the five-year average of 824.4.
Halopka says leaf hopper numbers seem low now, but could pick up in the next few weeks.
