Happy planting season! Fields are busy despite recent cool temperatures. Be sure to check the weekly Ag Weather Outlook for Wisconsin as May brings variable weather. Several farms in Sauk County are participating in our statewide alfalfa Scissor Clip project. Educators go to fields weekly to take cuttings and submit samples to the lab for quality analysis. This helps track quality until the first, and notably most important, harvest. Educators are also looking for alfalfa weevil larvae - something to start scouting for now in alfalfa fields! UW collaborates with UMN to publish quality data in real time. Check out the Dashboard. As wheat and alfalfa are growing, so are weeds. Take note of what is emerging and determine if your chemistry is sufficient.
Preliminary 2026 Custom Rates - Data is rolling in and there is still time to contribute to the survey!
Be safe in the fields and happy planting!
