Late fall through the spring is a time when agricultural area build up a soil moisture reserve.  Fall and spring rain events and winter snowfall that fill the soil profile are critical for crop germination and early spring growth.  Some areas of the country have seen below normal precipitation since October 1st, especially in some areas of the corn belt.  Late winter and spring precipitation will need to make up for the deficit in order to have adequate soil moisture heading into planting season.

    I study weather and climate impacts on agriculture, climate variability, and using weather and climate information to make better agricultural decisions.
