Only 7 samples tested as much of the crop is too wet. For most of these samples, producers had reason to believe that the corn may be drier than average fields (e.g. severe drought conditions, ultra-early planting, or short season hybrid, etc.).
The next testing day will be Tuesday, September 15th at the Dave Schmitz Farm on River Road, just south of Fond du Lac.
