Drought Worsens for Farmers and Ranchers

Corn plants damaged by extreme heat and drought conditions stand in a field in Carmi, Ill.

Scattered rain fell in parts of the Midwest on Friday, but it was not enough to provide relief to farmers struggling to salvage crops scorched by worsening drought conditions and ranchers worried about feeding livestock.

More than 1,000 counties in 26 states across the country were named natural-disaster areas on Thursday in a statement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It was the single largest designation in the program’s history and the worst drought since 1988, government officials said.

26 states, wow. Didn't know it was this bad.

Crazy to think 2/3 of the country is in a drought!

I'm the type of person that doesn't care for the heat and I'd much rather it was freezing outside. This extreme heat (every stinking day over 100) with little to no rain is for the birds!

It just isn't the summers that get to me, but the fact winters are so mild now with so little snow it is maddening!

It's not that bad since Farmers are pretty responsible about working the land correctly, but when the ditch weeds are only ankle high, we have problems.


Last year it didn't rain a single drop from April to August. Not a single drop.


I blame the dam west of Lamar for some of the problems, but not 100%.

Poor Roundup Montana: flooded under 5' of water last year, houses burned to the ground this year by grass fires and high wind.

Yeah, I have to admit, that is one of the last places on earth I would want to live. The place is cursed. If guys aren't out playing banjo's on the steps with their toes, the place is flooding, or burning, no thanks!
