As Midwest farmers gear up for spring fieldwork, Mother Nature might have other plans. While some are eager to plant early to stay ahead of potential crop stress, Eric Snodgrass, principal atmospheric scientist for Conduit, says there’s still plenty of uncertainty in the forecast. With drought concerns still looming and global weather patterns shifting, Eric joins Pam Jahnke to break down what farmers should keep an eye on in the weeks ahead.

"We have several large systems lined up," he warned. "If we get five more systems like the one coming, drought concerns may ease until late summer."
