La Nina transition could bring moisture to Corn Belt

La Nina transition could bring moisture to Corn Belt

An atmospheric scientist says the transition to the La Nina weather pattern is underway.

Matt Makens tells Brownfield he’s expecting the current southern storm flow to shift to the central and northern crop growing states. “As we go through the next four to six weeks, we’re going to see a favorable transition of getting some water here for the early part of the (growing) season.”

He says this could help improve soil conditions across the Corn Belt.
