Brownfield Ag Meteorologist Greg Soulje says the extended forecast is showing signs of drought improvement.
“We anticipate some delays in spring grain planting and additional improvement to drought for the Northern Plains. The Western Corn Belt locale should be okay. we’ll get timely rains and there may be some delays offset by days of opportunity for fieldwork. Probably some wetter corridors would include parts of the I-70 corridor south into the Ozarks and the southern fringe of the corn belt.”
He says it will likely be a character-building planting season in the eastern corn belt.
