Field conditions vary greatly in Wisconsin

Most Wisconsin farmers are waiting for warmer and dryer weather to get into the fields.

One farmer in the northern third of the state says there’s no chance of him getting any fieldwork done right now. Ben Augustine says, “Yup, still got frost yet.”

Augustine grows crops and milks cows near Sheldon in Rusk County.  He tells Brownfield his soils are cold and wet and over a clay base, so that means it will be too greasy to operate any equipment until about three weeks from now.
