# Another wet spring looms for growers

> Farm Futures analyst Bryce Knorr reports that long-range National Weather Service forecasts call for warm, wet conditions to persist into summer across much of the Corn Belt. Saturated ground from 2019's flooding raises concern about planting delays, especially in the eastern Midwest. El Niño and sunspot cycles are cited as possible influences on weather into 2021.
