An ag economist with American Farm Bureau says divergent weather throughout the planting season will likely impact national crop conditions this growing season.
Shelby Myers tells Brownfield with most of the corn and soybean planting complete, nearly two-thirds of the crops are currently rated good to excellent but she questions how long that can hold with a wide spanning drought and wet areas to the south impacting crops.
“We do have this increasing drought condition happening looking into the Dakotas and moving eastward, you can see especially in Minnesota how it’s drier than it’s been before,” she says.
