WCLO's Steve Benton talks with U-W Extension Crops and Soils agent, Jim Stute about the progress of spring planting.
ROCK COUNTY — Wet fields are keeping some Rock County farmers from planting, while corn and soybeans are already in the ground where conditions are drier.
U-W Extension Crops and Soils agent, Jim Stute, says the Southwest and Northeast parts of the county have the most water and the least amount of activity in the field. The target date for corn is May 20th "so there's no need to panic just yet," according to Stute.
In the "good news" department, Stute says farmers whose winter wheat survived the winter, can expect a good crop.
