Despite some weather challenges, the latest crop report paints a mostly positive picture of this season’s key vegetable crops across Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Minnesota: Cool Temps & Wet Fields
Minnesota saw cooler-than-usual temperatures with widespread rains toward the end of the week, leaving fields wet and delaying further planting. However, early and mid-week conditions were favorable for planting.
• Peas: The first crops are being pre-graded. Cooler weather is slowing progress, but the overall outlook remains strong. Pods are filling steadily, with harvest projected to begin late this week.
• Sweet Corn: Planting is on pace with last year, though slightly behind multi-year averages. Field emergence looks good across the board.
Wisconsin: Warm Weather Boosts Growth
Wisconsin experienced warmer weather last week, which helped advance crop development. Rainfall varied, with heavier showers in the north and more scattered rain in the south.
• Peas: Harvest is projected to begin around June 20.
• Beets: The crop is reportedly looking healthy.
• Sweet Corn: Planting in the sandy regions is progressing well, with recent heat contributing positively. Expect highs in the 90s in the coming days, which could further accelerate growth.
• Green Beans: Rain slowed planting in northern areas, but central Wisconsin saw a productive week. Harvest is expected to begin around July 2.
