In this episode of the Field Advisor podcast, Matt Reardon, senior atmospheric scientist at Nutrien Ag Solutions, discusses what Illinois farmers can expect as winter transitions into spring. He breaks down ongoing drought conditions, the 14-day outlook for rainfall, and how El Niño may influence weather patterns throughout the growing season. The conversation also covers severe weather preparedness, whether there is concern of dust storms, and what these changing conditions could mean for field decisions in the months ahead.
