# Late-Winter and Early Growing Season Climatological Outlooks for 2022 | Integrated Crop Management

> Iowa State's climatological outlook for late winter and early growing season 2022 describes a classic La Niña signature across the US, with February temperature and precipitation probabilities mostly near-average for Iowa. Shorter-term outlooks pointed to warmer temperatures and a persisting dry signal in mid-February, and Iowa faced snowfall deficits.

## Why it matters

A dry, warm pattern over the Corn Belt raises the chance of stress for the coming crop, a modest supportive factor for corn and soybean prices and for feed costs. The outlook is mostly equal-chance for Iowa, so the price impact is limited.
