Brian Fuchs, a climatologist with the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Neb., also expects extra precipitation through April in the central and northern plains.

Nathan Fields with National Corn Growers association said that after the 2012 drought he learned how quickly it can set in and affect crop production. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik, File)
