All indications point to a wet pattern ahead for Nebraska and much of the crop growing region. The short-term forecast and extended forecast suggest that we could see above normal moisture to start planting season. After a warm and fairly dry February and early March, the end of the month and start to April may be the opposite. For many locations, some early season moisture would be welcome to add moisture to the top soil and to kick-start pasture growth. This may hinder field activities and planting date; however, what happens the last half of April will determine a lot.
