DODGEVILLE, Wis. — Right now, almost the entire state of Wisconsin is experiencing some form of drought.

According to the National Integrated Drought Information System’s drought report, much of the state is under a moderate drought. Some parts of southwestern Wisconsin are under a severe drought.

It’s causing many problems for farmers in the area.

At Kyle Levetzow’s farm in Dodgeville, the fans are running constantly, and the sprinklers pop on to keep his cows cool.

“We owe our whole existence to the fact that it rains, so when it doesn’t come in a timely manner, it really starts to stress things,” Levetzow said.

They’re relying entirely on feed right now because cows can’t graze dry, burnt grass. That feed is grown on Levetzow’s farm.

“I do have that advantage in a drought year, that we just won’t be selling corn this year,” he said. “Hopefully we can salvage enough off the 900 acres of corn that we’re growing.”

But his crop is already damaged.

“Eventually the corn will just decide it’s done growing and tassel out at three feet,” he said.

Even if it poured for a week, Wisconsin Farm Bureau President Kevin Krentz said crops are inconsistent.

“Some came out of the ground, they had moisture, some plants in the field did,” he said. “Others never had moisture, so they didn’t germinate, didn’t come out of the ground.”

For now, all farmers can do is adapt and hope.
