Iowa's Drying Out

The dry conditions aren't getting any better statewide. The latest U.S. Drought Monitor report says 82% of the state is either abnormally dry or in moderate drought. That’s better than the beginning of the year, when the whole state was dry. The area considered in drought is 35% of the land, most in west-central counties. The area considered abnormally dry grew by 8%, to 47%.
