This picture comes from Odin, Minnesota. The amount of snow on the ground across the Midwest varies greatly from county to county. For areas like Watonwan County, Minnesota, warmer weather needs to stay and temperatures need to continue to gradually increase so the risk of flooding is minimized. Eventually this moisture needs to make its way to the Mississippi River system before more precipitation comes. Fields with drainage tile will give operators an advantage this spring by drying out earliest. During this coming spring, we hope that there will not be as much rain as there has been in past years.
