(NAFB) – Drought has been on the minds of many in agriculture for several weeks.
However, some welcome rainfall fell in parts of farm country over the weekend. Ryan Martin is an Agricultural Meteorologist from Warsaw, Indiana. He says there may be more moisture on the way in farm country over the next seven to ten days.
He talks about some of the changes in the weather patterns that are bringing in cooler temperatures and some moisture.
The Southern U.S. has seen more rain than it wants to.
As the pattern switches into more of what we typically see in the summertime, Martin says it should stay around for a while.
He says the drought isn’t necessarily due to just a dry spring. He says it’s more about a lack of moisture during the previous winter that’s making things a little worse than they would be otherwise.
