The weather shapes your entire season on the farm, and right now, it's already telling a story about what lies ahead. In this episode, Mike Howell sits down with Senior Science Fellow Eric Snodgrass to break down the patterns shaping the 2026 growing season. Together, they explore how winter conditions have carried into spring, how limited snowpack is fueling drought concerns and the sharp divide between weather in the eastern and western U.S. They also dig into what a shift from La Niña to El Niño could mean for the season ahead, what's happening in key growing regions around the world and what growers should be watching as they head into the field. It's the forecast you need before you hit the ground running. Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?
