# A Decent Planting Window Ahead for Northern Plains | Red River Farm Network

> Red River Farm Network reported on April 29, 2020 that the Northern Plains should have a decent planting window, without the big systems expected to keep fields wet for days. Meteorologist Eric Snodgrass said a late-developing La Niña could bring a dry end to summer, which would help harvest.

## Why it matters

A favorable planting window reduces the risk of delayed planting in Northern Plains spring crops, which is mildly bearish for prices, but the effect is modest this early in the season.
