- Watch out for slow moving farm equipment on rural roads

Madison, Wis. – Motorists driving on rural roads are likely to encounter slow moving farm vehicles through most of November and December because the harvest season has been delayed due to a wet spring and cooler temperatures. In order to get the harvest completed farmers may be operating more during low-light conditions or after dark. That means it’s time for all drivers to be especially vigilant and careful.

Madison, Wis. – With the most expensive crop of corn and soybeans ever grown in Wisconsin sitting in saturated farm fields, growers have their backs against the wall this fall.

Sheboygan – A cooler than normal growing season and an early frost that ended crop development earlier than desired, has left many farmers with a corn crop still high in moisture. To facilitate the local marketing of feed commodities, University of Wisconsin-Extension has developed a website where livestock producers in need of high moisture corn can find corn growers who have high moisture corn for sale. The website is http://farmertofarmer.uwex.edu.
