Severe storms a week ago have taken a toll in many counties in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Field Office of the National Agricultural Stat-istics Service said Monday.

In Vernon County alone, the storms caused about $10 million in damage to corn, soybean and hay crops, estimated Tim Rehbein, that county’s University of Wisconsin-Extension agriculture adviser.

“That reflects some acres that are totally lost because of silting in or just getting gouged out, as well as lower yields that we’ll be expecting this fall due to impacted crops,” Rehbein said Monday. The crop damage caused by storms June 7-8 was widespread in Vernon County, he said.

Flooding along the Kickapoo River and erosion damage in some corn and soybean fields have caused problems for some farmers in Crawford County, said Vance Haugen, that county’s UW-Extension agriculture adviser. Farmers are working on their first cutting of hay, which has lost some of its nutrient value because it’s being cut late, Haugen said.

“The majority of crops are OK” in Monroe County, said Bill Halfman, that county’s UW-Extension agriculture adviser. “They’re behind where they were the last couple years due to a cool, wet spring and getting a late start,” he said. Most storm damage was in the southern half of the county, and included some erosion and washed-out roads, he said.

“We were fortunate in that we had only small amounts of damage to both structures and crops” in La Crosse County, said Steve Huntzicker, the county’s UW-Extension agriculture adviser. “With the nice weather we’ve had this past week, a lot of the standing water has moved on or soon will.”

In its weekly crop report Monday, NASS said warmer weather is needed to speed up corn and soybean growth. It said 3 percent of the state’s corn crop is in very poor condition, 7 percent poor, 30 percent fair, 49 percent good and 11 percent excellent.

The state’s soybean crop was rated 3 percent very poor, 10 percent poor, 28 percent fair, 48 percent good and 11 percent excellent.

The service said 28 percent of the first cutting of hay has been completed, down from 74 percent last year and a five-year average of 61 percent.
