Drought conditions persist in many regions of the Southwest, forcing livestock producers to make tough decisions. To reduce risk during and following the drought, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension is hosting a webinar, Developing a Drought Management Plan for the Ranch. As of mid-March, about 63% of the state was in some form of drought, D1 or higher, said Extension Economist Justin Benavidez, Amarillo. About another 20% percent is in abnormally dry conditions. The drought has spread from South Texas up to the entire western half of the state. And now, even some of our more rainy eastern parts of the state are facing drought.
