North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network Director Daryl Ritchison is offering a positive weather outlook for the beginning of May. “It looks much more promising than it has for a long time. We should see temperatures at the beginning of May getting at least close to seasonal norms.” Ritchison says as farmers wait for soil to warm up, there can still be an issue with moisture below the surface. “Once you get down four-to-12 inches, that’s where it’s still really dry,” said Ritchison. “Once we get into June and roots start shooting down, we’ll need a recharge of moisture.”
