Farm News: Weather Helps Jump Start HarvestcommentsPosted: 10.12.2011 How many of Wisconsin's population haven't paused over the past week to enjoy the above average, dry weather the states enjoyed. Farmers haven't wasted it. Statewide, 94 percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, with 28 percent harvested. Reporters noted preliminary yields in the 40-50 bushel per acre range for northern Wisconsin and the 50-65 bushel per acre range for southern Wisconsin. Moistures were reported in the 10-20 percent range across much of the state.
Fourth crop hay was 90 percent harvested. The weather was ideal for drying and bailing. Sauk and Dane County reporters noted fifth crop hay coming off where fields are to be plowed down.
Fall tillage advanced to 16 percent complete.
Wisconsin’s potato harvest was finishing up this week, with average yields and very good quality reported. A Buffalo County reporter commented that grape yields were double last year’s and the grapes were sweet. Cranberry, apple, carrot and pumpkin harvest continued as well. |
