Most growers in northern Wisconsin flooded for a good portion of late April as temps were in the single digits and low teens a few nights.  Growers are just beginning to protect with irrigation, starting pumps anywhere from 26 to 32, depending on variety.  Sedge and grasses are greening up, beggarstick is emerging in areas of thin canopy.  Granular herbicides will likely start early next week.  Buds on Stevens are still tight, a small percent of hybrid buds are greening up and moving.
