An ag meteorologist says drought across the Northern Great Plains and parts of the Upper Midwest this year was the worst in at least 20 years.
Jeff Andresen tells Brownfield drought in that region has continued through the winter, but relief is possible before the start of the growing season.
“Much of the Midwest is expected to see maybe at least normal, if not a little bit above normal, precipitation so the hope is that some of those deficits will be taken care of over the next serval weeks or a couple of months,” he says.
