The growing season is starting out dry in northwest Minnesota.
Kittson County farmer Theresia Gillie says there was far less snow than usual this winter.
“We’re used to having a pretty nice white blanket of snow, and we just never really got that. We had a couple of small snows and really only one week of what I’d call colder weather, I wouldn’t call it extreme cold. So it was quite a dry, brown winter.”
She tells Brownfield her area remains in light to moderate drought.
