The first rain in weeks arrived in Michigan Sunday but USDA officials say more is needed.
The agency says 91 percent of the topsoil moisture is in short to very short supply across the state. Fire conditions remain rated in the ‘extreme’ category in Northern Michigan.
Farmers have nearly finished planting, with corn rated at only 38 percent good to excellent and soybeans at 30 percent.
