Ninety-six percent of the state’s soybeans are in the bin, which is 20 days ahead of average.
The winter wheat crop is 84% good to excellent, with 88% of the new crop emerging.
Soil moisture levels are dropping, but still in good shape with topsoil and subsoil more than 76% adequate and 6% surplus.
USDA reporters say Wisconsin farmers are about nine days ahead of average with fall tillage, as 59% of the tillage is complete.
