Drought

Drought - USA

Drought Hurts California's Pistachio Crop - The impact of California's drought just keeps growing. One large Northern California pistachio producer says its crops are in trouble and you could pay the price.

Late Spring Rains Welcome, But Drought Persists Across Much of Kansas - One long drought settled over Kansas for years. They've now had several inches of rain over a few short weeks.

Drought Conditions Ease up in Oklahoma - A new report says drought conditions are improving in Oklahoma, though more than half of the state remains in extreme or exceptional drought. New data from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows that 17 percent of Oklahoma is in exceptional drought - the most severe classification of drought. That's down from 21 percent a week ago. 53 percent of the state is in extreme or exceptional drought, primarily in the northern, central and western parts of the state. That's down from 61 percent last week. About 8 percent of Oklahoma, all in the southeast, is experiencing no drought conditions.
