Late month precipitation should help Minnesota

Minnesota continued to see mostly mild winter weather conditions for most of March.

The USDA says that was before a late shift to colder temperatures along with snow and rain, which should help alleviate the abnormally dry to extreme drought conditions covering much of the state.

Ahead of that shift, pastures were starting to green up, farmers were tilling fields and applying fertilizer, with some even getting a jump on cover crop and small grains planting.

Calving and lambing are ongoing.

The USDA’s weekly crop progress and condition reports resume next Monday.
