The meteorologist for CattleFax says he expects a more neutral weather pattern for the Corn Belt in 2022.
Matt Makens tells Brownfield it’s been two years of La Nina causing drought problems. “It’s very rare for a third season of La Nina to come through,” he says. “Is a three-peat possible? Yes. Is it likely? No.”
Instead of expanding drought conditions, he says farmers can expect a slight shift. “It will start to spread some moisture around the country in different pockets,” he says. “It will also limit the temperature extremes around the country.”
As for weather during planting season?
