Corn will be safe in three weeks more
Weather review from the Wisconsin climate and crop service notes last week brought light to moderate cooling with temperatures ranging from the low 60s in the north to the low 70s in the south. Rainfall was copious in many areas with unusually heavy storms in the southeast including a tornado at Sheboygan on the 20th causing damage. hail and high winds damaged crops and infrastructure while uneven rainfall hindered threshing and plowing. Despite risks, corn growth is favorable though some early fields have been cut and later plantings may face frost in about three weeks. fruit yields appear unsatisfactory in damaged areas, while small fruits and berries show good quality and potential.
