Wisconsin corn planting 35% complete

Wisconsin farmers took advantage of more than four days suitable for fieldwork last week.

The USDA Crop Progress report says corn planting went from 14 to 35 percent complete, with producers avoiding low spots and heavy soils.

Heavy rains did halt fieldwork again over the weekend.

Soybean planting is 12 percent complete, 10 days behind normal.

Potato planting remains ahead of last year at 76 percent, which is still four days slower than average.
