Soggy Spring Keeps Farmers Out of the Fields
Thursday, May 9th, 2013 -- 7:18 AM
-A soggy spring has kept many Wisconsin farmers out of their corn fields.The National Agriculture Statistics Service says about 4 percent of corn fields in Wisconsin have been planted, well behind the normal pace of about 26 percent by this time.
It's a similar scenario across America's breadbasket, where 12 percent of the nation's cornfields have been planted. That's about a quarter of what was planted by this date over the previous five years.
Most of the planting in Wisconsin has been to the south.
