20 Oct 2005 Drought Monitor
This weeks's drought monitor update continues to depict dry conditions over the entire state save Northcentral and Northwest Iowa. This time of year dryness is a good thing, since most farmers are looking to harvest the corns and need dry fields. The catch is that fall season rainfall can help to recharge moisture depleted soil preparing for the next growing season.
