I'm in Cass county, north central part of the state. Did a nice hike around the farm this afternoon and this country is about as dry as I've ever seen it this time of year. Had an extremely dry late summer and fall, not much rain or snow this winter, and as a result things are in bad shape for moisture.
My ponds are down several feet, all of the wetlands around here are dry or have very little water in them, and despite the recent snow melt off it's really not even very muddy on the surface. If we don't get some serious precipitation between now and planting season I'd bet crops are going to be in jeopardy. Mushrooms aren't going to amount to much either.
I'm not going to complain if we get a bunch of mud and rain yet this winter and spring, it's desperately needed.
