After 2.8 inches of rain two weeks ago the crops are looking extra nice in our area. It was dry here for a while; we are currently considered “abnormally dry” by the National Weather Service along with parts of Clark, Jackson and Trempealeau counties of Wisconsin It was a welcome relief to have that moisture. Rains were sporadic so not everyone was as fortunate as we were. The rain should put a nice top on the beans for a good yield.
