Farmers confront above normal moisture in many counties
County agents report variable harvest conditions as rain and lingering moisture slow crop work across Trempealeau Jackson and La Crosse counties. Silage packing issues arise from low moisture in corn while hay harvest struggles force some crops into silos as mud and damp fields delay bean and soybean gathering.

Rainy stretch slows harvest in northeast Wisconsin crops
A Weather District report shows rainfall from April 1 to Oct 7 totaling 24.3 inches in the Northeast Crop Reporting District, 4 inches above normal, with 14 percent more rain along the lakes in the East Central District. Farmers report soggy fields delaying harvest, stalk rot developing in several counties, and mixed yields with corn at or above normal in Calumet. Some areas escaped the worst, but in Langlade and Outagamie counties harvest is slowed by mud and late rains.
