Wisconsin farmers see favorable planting conditions, prices this spring
Hope Kirwan
Wisconsin farmers have seen a favorable start to this year’s growing season, with drier than normal conditions and strong crop prices.
The state’s latest crop progress report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows this year’s corn crop is 49 percent planted. That’s two days behind planting in 2020 but five days ahead of the five-year average.
Soybeans were 34 percent planted, which is nine days ahead of the five-year average and one day ahead of last year.
Mike Ballweg, a crops and soils specialist for the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Division of Extension, said soil moisture across the state is currently varied, from wet soils in eastern counties like Sheboygan to dry conditions in the northwest.

Normally, spring planting will only be starting around May 1 with a goal of being done putting seeds into soil by Memorial Day. In 2021, planting at Mighty Grand started around April 20.
Wisconsin farmers say planting is off to a promising start this spring, with essential crops like soybeans and corn already in the ground ahead of schedule.
Drier weather has allowed farmers to get out into the fields earlier than in previous, muddier years, agriculture experts say.
The statewide progress for Wisconsin s staple crops is well ahead of the five-year average, according to this week s crop report from the USDA s National Agricultural Statistics Service. If it s going to be dry at any point during the growing season, this is a good time of year for it to be dry, said Mike Ballweg, Sheboygan County crops and soils agriculture agent at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension.
