Meteorologist outlines variable weather conditions in the Midwest

An ag meteorologist says farmers are experiencing a wide range of weather conditions in the Corn Belt, Great Plains, and Delta regions at the start of planting season.

Brownfield’s Greg Soulje says extreme dryness and drought continues in the Great Plains.  

“The headline story from a drought standpoint continues to be generally areas west and southwest of the Missouri River, especially Nebraska, more so into Kansas, and even more so as you get into the western two-thirds of Oklahoma, and virtually all of Texas and through New Mexico and in the central and southern high plains—that winter wheat belt,” he says.
