When it comes to drought, no two states are the same.
The U.S. Drought Monitor provides the current state of drought for each state in the nation. Drawing on more than 20 years of historical data, it also breaks down the impact of each category — from abnormally dry (D0) to exceptional (D4) — on the public and agriculture.
While these observations will not prevent a drought, they can help farmers understand what they may face should dry weather persist. More importantly, it can steer on-farm decisions during a drought year.
To find your state’s details, visit the U.S. Drought Monitor. Click on your state and scroll down to “Historic Impacts.”
