Dry conditions get worse across state
Posted 7/9/12
SIOUX FALLS— Hot, dry weather in June worsened drought conditions in the state. The U.S. Drought Monitor map shows nearly all of South Dakota as being abnormally dry or in moderate to severe drought. Much of southeast South Dakota reported less than an inch of rain in June — of the region’s driest months in history.
The SDSU College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences says the dry weather has affected the growth of corn and soybean crops and have reduced grass and alfalfa hay yields.
