Nebraska farmers are expecting some worries this growing season.
The Cornhusker State has had sparse snowfall all winter and while it has made for good cattle-feeding conditions, it has left little moisture heading into planting season.
One cattleman told Successful Farming the last La Niña of 2022 brought pretty severe drought conditions to the state. He says that it was so dry that year that he weaned his calves in July and August, the earliest he has ever done it.
The UNL Drought Monitor for Nebraska shows that the entire state is experiencing some form of drought. The worst of it is in the northwestern corner where several counties are now facing extreme drought conditions.
