Anyone can help report drought conditions in their area! At the Extension office, we submit reports every Monday morning, and photos are one of the best ways to show what conditions really look like on the ground.

If you’d rather not submit a report yourself, feel free to send your drought photos to Penny at [email protected] and we can help share the information.
