Winneshiek County Extension Office to offer drought webinars

Winneshiek County is listed as 'abnormally dry'

Much of Iowa is now considered "abnormally dry."  Nearly 40 percent of the state is in moderate to severe drought, with the worst conditions in the west central portion of the state.

That's why Iowa State Extension is offering three webinars about the drought conditions.  Starting this Thursday and running for three Thursdays in a row from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m., webinar topics will include a general weather update, drought monitor updates, pasture and hay shortages, preparing for silage and nitrates, yield estimates, and end-of-year considerations related to grain quality and storage.

Registration is free but is required for participation. For more details, visit their website here.
