Some weather forecasts are calling for a La Nina-related dry spring in 2021. After three or four unusually wet planting seasons in a row, many farmers would welcome more “normal” conditions for putting their crops in. 

But dry soils can also be problematic, meaning some producers might once again be confronted with the prevented planting rules for Federal Crop Insurance policies, according to Grant Ballard, an attorney based in Little Rock, Ark.
