Leonard Buchanan cautions on alfalfa damage while central Wisconsin farmers lean toward red clover due to deep soil wetness. Dry years push past substitutes, with Tenpas urging balance. ASCS officials discuss emergency feed declarations, set aside acres, and reporting to state offices. Dwayne Rohweder notes localized damage in heavy soils with advice on reseeding and cover crops.
County agriculture agents report significant alfalfa winterkill from heaving where warm and cold swings occurred this spring. Cal Kraemer notes eastern farms hardest with crowns lifted up to five inches. Some counties show scattered damage while others report minimal impact and good stand.
