Narrow planting window ahead for Delta

Ag meteorologist Drew Lerner says there will be a short window where Delta farmers might get some planting or fieldwork completed, starting Wednesday.

“The window will be somewhat limited, but farmers should be able to go until Friday night or Saturday before the northern Delta will have another chance at rain.”

Until then, he tells Brownfield…

“There will be additional moisture, three-quarters of an inch up to two inches of rain,” he says. “It’s not going to be everywhere, everyday, but everyone will be impacted. The drying environment everyone wants to see is definitely not in the cards right now.”

Lerner says there is more rain in the forecast through May 20.
