Wisconsin Drought Resource
The summer of 2012 has been challenging — high temperatures coupled with drought conditions. And it has people asking a lot of questions. How will the drought affect me? Will it affect my food prices? Will my lawn survive? What about my garden?
As farmers, we understand — and we recommend the www.wisconsindrought.org website as a resource for gardeners and non-gardeners alike. The site offers:
- Information concerning climate change
- Gardening advice for drought conditions
- Interviews with a variety of experts concerning the effect of the drought on crops, wildlife and the environment
- Burning restriction notices
- Drought monitoring tools and charts
- Advice on staying cool
