The USDA says Wisconsin farmers are seeing a wide range of crop maturity because of frequent rains and late plantings. The National Ag Statistics Service reporters say early-planted corn is beginning to silk in some areas, but the rest of the crops are showing signs of all of that moisture. Late-planted corn and most soybeans are lagging behind in maturity.
Heavy storms and flooding in southeastern Wisconsin last week also damaged crops.
