The latest crop progress report for Wisconsin says fieldwork and planting has begun in earnest at least in the southern half of the state. This is also what we're hearing from crop consultant Eric Birschbach. He owns and operates Ag Site Crop Consulting in western Dane County. His farm clients in Dane, Iowa and Lafayette counties will likely wrap up with planting corn and soybeans this week if the weather is nice. He says now is the time to follow through on your weed management plan so that weeds are not competing with your crop. He says folks with cover crops need to be watching for pests, as some insects like to lay eggs in grassy covers.
