It was a cool, dry week as producers tried to wrap up the fall harvest. There were about 4 days suitable for fieldwork, and farmers made some progress says State Crop Statistician Mark Schleusener.
92 percent of soybeans have been harvested, up from 86 percent last week, and 90 percent of winter wheat has now been planted. Average statewide topsoil moisture now stands at 2 percent very short, 14 percent short, 75 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus.
