Eau Claire County farmers are grappling with the challenges of an ongoing drought as they kick off their autumn harvest.
The region is currently experiencing moderate to severe drought conditions, and farmers are bracing for below-average yields compared to historical averages.
The dry weather is expected to have a significant impact on crop prices as well.
Steve Strey, the owner of Strey Farms, anticipates that the quality of corn will suffer significantly, describing it as “very poor” due to the prevailing dry conditions.
