# Northwestern Wisconsin farmer reports average yields despite summer drought

> A northwestern Wisconsin farmer said the 2026 harvest finished unusually early, with corn and soybeans yielding close to his average despite a summer drought that brought very little rain. Statewide, corn harvest was 72% complete and soybean harvest 97% complete, both ahead of their five-year average pace.
