Farmers in store for a “character building” planting season

Brownfield ag meteorologist Greg Soulje says wet weather will result in what he calls a character-building spring planting season.

“Over the next four to six weeks pick your spots accordingly. If you are able, set and ready to go, go get it and keep an eye on compaction issues. But, as a whole, anything wide spread more than a day or two at a time- probably not going to be looking at experiencing that much during this springtime planting season.”

He tells Brownfield the wet fall, snow pack, rapid snow melt and continuous runoff will make it a challenging spring for farmers.

As for getting relief from the moisture, he says…

“I just don’t see it. Not to mention we are in line here for a wet and active weather pattern across the plains.”

He says it looks like the wet weather pattern could potentially reach well into June for some sections of the Heartland.
