New England, North Dakota farmer Devin Wert said subsoil moisture remains decent, but topsoil conditions are deteriorating fast. “We have decent moisture underneath, but it hasn’t rained all spring really, so that’s concerning.” Wert is anxiously waiting for rain to help newly planted crops emerge. “It would be real nice to help everything that we’ve seeded germinate. Some of it’s maybe getting in the dry dirt now, especially with the wind blowing, sucking it out.”
