The drought in the Western Corn Belt is intensifying, and an agronomist says farmers may have to think outside the box to plant crops this year.
Thomas Miller with Collins Ag Service and Pfeiffer Seeds covers South-Central Nebraska. “You might have to break up the ground before you plant or you might have to run your pivot just to get some moisture because you can’t put farm implement in soil like this and it could get damaged really easily.”
Miller tells Brownfield the area received some snow over the weekend, but it won’t provide much relief.
