The latest drought monitor was released today and it shows drought continued to worsen across much of the west over the past week.
Reports of flash drought continued to intensify and cause problems for farmers in the Great Plains, Ozarks, and the Mississippi Valley. Short-term drought expanded across the Northeast too. Conditions improved in parts of the Southwest due to an increase in rain from the North American monsoon.
Jon Devine with Cotton Incorporated and Morgan Treadwell with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension joined RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander for a roundtable to discuss conditions in their areas and how cotton and pasture land were faring.
