Though spring doesn't officially begin for another few weeks, forecasters are taking stock of the drought that's dominated much of the U.S. this winter. U.S. Drought Monitor maps for the last few months show the drought has slowly eased in some parts of the country, with dry conditions easing east of the Mississippi River and into the mid-South and Southeast.

It's been almost two weeks since temperatures fell through the floor, some at record-low levels in parts of the central and southern Plains.

At $4.58 and $11.87 per bushel for corn and soybeans, respectively, the 2021 crop insurance revenue guarantees are at their highest levels since 2013 and 2014.
