GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Farmers in Northeast Wisconsin are experiencing a rough start to the growing season. Wednesday’s spotty rainfall was the first measurable moisture around here for weeks.

Fields are very dry at a time when some crops are just emerging or in their early stages; some fields look like dust bowls when the farmers are working.
