The drought that took hold in the western Corn Belt last fall is expanding.
Climatologist Brian Fuchs at the National Drought Mitigation Center tells Brownfield there’s extreme drought in Northwest Iowa.
“That signal is fairly real and it goes into southeast, east South Dakota and I can go back 12 to even 18 months in some of those areas and see this pocket of dryness is lingering in that area,” Fuchs says.
