Speaking at a Countryside Insurance farm meeting, DTN Strategic Product Manager Ben Hershey said this spring could be very similar to last year. That includes warmer conditions in March, a cooldown in April and a drier than average May. It may take longer for the frost to come out of the ground. “There’s definitely indications the frost depth is a little deeper,” said Hershey. “We had moisture in the ground and with temperatures in the 30 below zero range that helps drive that frost level down.”
