Extreme drought conditions are hitting the central region, southeast corner of the state
The areas of eastern Kansas in extreme or exceptional drought grew slightly as depicted on the Aug. 2 U.S. Drought Monitor Map maintained by the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, reports theKansas Farmer.
Rains, some of them heavy, did move across parts of the state during the last week of July, but frustrated farmers and ranchers in the hardest-hit counties watched helplessly as storm after storm fell apart before reaching the region.
Most of the eastern half of the state — usually the region that gets the most rainfall — remains in at least moderate drought, with a finger of extreme drought in the central region and another patch of extreme drought in the far southeast corner.
