Maryland farmers brace for drought after wet winter
Maryland farmers report a mixed start to 1999 with a wet winter aiding soil moisture. January rainfall exceeded normal by 1.6 inches and February by 1.18 in Baltimore area. Despite improved weather, corn planting is down by about 15,000 acres from last year due to lower corn prices, while soybean acreage remains steady at roughly 470,000 acres. Experts note ongoing risk from prolonged dryness and anticipate a wetter summer.
