Another Week of Little Work in Wisconsin's Farm Fields

Tuesday, April 12th, 2022 -- 10:00 AM

(Wisconsin Ag Connection) With only one day suitable for fieldwork during the past week, farmers were held back from doing much outdoors.

According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, the Wisconsin Ag Statistics Service noted in its weekly crop report on Monday that up to a foot of snow fell in far northern Wisconsin, while the rest of the state received periodic flurries and rain showers.

There were a few reports that some farmers were able to spread manure last week, and in southern Wisconsin winter wheat fields were starting to green up. Topsoil moisture conditions were rated two percent very short, seven percent short, 62 percent adequate and 29 percent surplus.

Spring tillage was reported at just one percent complete.
