Wisconsin had 3.3 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending April 14, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Despite a warm weekend, cool and wet conditions earlier in the week kept equipment out of the fields throughout most of the state. Scattered corn planting was reported in eastern and southern Wisconsin. Field activities included plowing lighter soils, readying equipment, limited alfalfa planting, oat seeding, manure hauling and fertilizer application.
