USDA Provides Comprehensive Disaster and Drought Assistance Resources

As the drought in the US Midwest continues, stakeholders need access to up-to-the-minute information regarding weather patterns, crop conditions, and markets and prices. The USDA has released a comprehensive set of resources called Disaster and Drought Assistance to help stakeholders stay connected and informed about changing conditions.

Included in the Disaster and Drought Assistance resources is a Disaster Designation Map showing areas of the country that have been declared disaster areas by the US government, as well as weekly crop progress and condition reports. A News and Updates section provides the latest press releases and media articles related to the drought and the response of the US government.
