This year’s crop progress in Manitowoc County flipped “like a light switch.”
That’s what Manitowoc County Ag Educator Angie Ulness said on WOMT’s Be My Guest program last week.
Ulness says that over the last few years, the county saw a rainy, cool spring, and then suddenly it became warm.
But so far, crops like corn and wheat look pretty good.
“There was some concern in the wheat crop, early on,” she noted. “But the wheat kind of came back around and is looking pretty good.”
Corn crops are also looking good, with Ulness saying right now, it’s all about the same height.
“Everybody was able to get the corn in a really good window of time, all while doing their first crop of hay too,” she explained. “So, it gets busy, and then, now it’s kind of a bit of a lull.”
Ulness says there is optimism for good crops this year, as there were last year.
