LINCOLN, Neb. (RFD-TV) — Efforts are underway to strengthen drought resilience in agriculture as dry conditions continue to challenge farmers across Rural America and around the world.
Dr. Mark Svoboda with the National Drought Mitigation Center joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss a new global drought report, its key findings, and how they impact farmers and rural communities in the U.S.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Svoboda shared insights on the drivers of worsening drought in the Great Plains and across the country, explaining how climate trends are influencing both crop production and water resources.
Svoboda highlighted the tools the Drought Center is developing to help producers prepare, such as its updated web tool, Managing Drought Risk on the Ranch, which includes advanced risk-management and planning resources tailored to local conditions. He also discussed how producers can utilize these resources to develop stronger, drought-resilient operations.
He also notes the center is rolling out new tools to help producers prepare and manage drought risk, including advanced planning resources that can be tailored to local conditions.
