As of this morning’s Drought Monitor update, Pendleton County and surrounding areas have progressed to D3 – Extreme Drought conditions. This classification does not include the rainfall received yesterday and this morning.
Historically, drought at this level results in widespread crop and pasture losses, with water flow becoming extremely reduced or even ceasing in some areas.
More information regarding drought impacts, resources, and eligible funding programs will be shared as it becomes available.
