if the drought is supposed to continue? I am in NW MO, ground is ready for working, dry dry dry. Hate to spend the money and effort if it is going to be like last year. Farmers Almanac doesn't really say.

Did the 2 big snows that hit the KC area miss you this year? I had talked to a fellow in northern Nebraska and he said it is very dry there too. I am in SW Mo.and we have had quite a bit of moisture so far down here.

God only knows and he is not telling. I think it is about as dry this spring as last spring in Eastern Iowa, it all depends on what the summer brings.

I am planting beans and alfalfa on my home place this year. We will plant beans on most everything else after doing corn on corn for a while.

Where in NW MO? I'm east of Bethany, not WET here, but ponds are mostly full, and ground is still damp.

Im in NW MO also Oregon, Mo. Dry here also but the corn is going in the ground as we speak.

The ground has good moisture here in Coffee County Tn. so cold and rainy in March.

We have had a lot of rain here this winter/early spring but no gully washers to fill the pond. I think I have enough ground water for a crop as I left the hay patch roughly plowed to catch all I could.

Down where I am we are for the year about an 1 or so ahead for this time of year and they are talking more rain for the next 4 or 5 days. I have worked up the garden area and plants a few things. As for the drought I have heard both ways that it will again be dry and others say we will be close the what we get most years. I hope we stay wetter then last year but not as wet as it was in 1986 when I needed a boat to get to town

Anyone who says is just guessing.

So far my part of MN is very dry, nothing in the subsoil. We typically are too wet, but high pressure systems and prevailing winds have blocked off rain for 3 years. Except one downpour in June 2011 and the month of May 2012 both of which drowned out crops.

River flow is up to average durning snow melt here; typically we would be flooding, and 1/4 of the farm land covered in water this time of year.

Couple big rains cures a drought here and we go back to worrying about too wet, but so far it is very dry.

to answer some of the questions. I am near Kearney MO, we did get some good snows but the ponds are still very low. Working in the fields creates a dust storm. So far much dryer spring than last year. Pastures are starting to show somw green but no growth yet.
