Despite farmers losing a few days last week due to rain, the crops you see in their fields are still doing just fine. The United States Department of Agriculture reported that Wisconsin farmers had 3.3 days suitable for field work last week, with the rain felt out west being the biggest culprit. While it may have slowed work for farmers, it was well needed for growing crops. The corn condition was rated 75 percent good to excellent, while the soybean condition was rated 73 percent good to excellent. Oats are the only crop running behind at 63 percent headed, four days off last year and three days off the average. Many farmers are already onto their second cutting of alfalfa, which at 21 percent complete is right on par with last year and the five-year average.
