Considerations for Early Planting

Parts of the Northern Plains should see opportunities for early planting, but Nutrien Ag Solutions Principal Atmospheric Scientist Eric Snodgrass remains cautious. “Some early planting windows are going to start to open up. We’re getting these waves of warmer air that come in, but I’m still a bit cautious because we typically have our last frost at some point in early May.” Early planting may still be the best bet. “The earlier we can get in, the better we are with pushing some of that longer-term heat and drought risk off later in the season.”
