But itâs not a drought, at least not yet.
âWe sure could use the rain,â said Randy Hughes of W. Hughes Farms, which grow a variety of field crops in the Janesville area, including the corn that goes into blue corn chips.
Thereâs enough moisture in the soilâsome of it from a fairly snowy winterâto get crops started, said Scott Skelly of Skelly Farm Markets, a fruit and vegetable farm just outside Janesville.
Hughes said his workers have had to adjust their planters to place the seed deeper, where soil is moister.
Crops are fine for the moment, the farmers said, but the question is what happens next.
