Eighty-nine percent of Wisconsin’s corn crop has emerged, 5 days ahead of last year and 6 days ahead of the 5-year average. Corn condition was 66% good to excellent, down 6% from last week.

Soybean planting was 98% complete, with 83% of the soybeans emerged. That’s 5 days ahead of last year and 7 days ahead of the average. Soybean condition was 62% good to excellent, down 7 percent from last week.

Ninety percent of the oat crop has emerged, with 14% headed. That’s one week ahead of last year but one day behind the average.
