Drought Management
by James Rogers
Drought can be defined simply as 75 percent of normal precipitation with the normal being based on a 30-year average. It can be further defined as long term, lasting for several months, or short term, which can last several weeks. Regardless of the length of time that drought occurs, the results can be far reaching and devastating for agricultural production.
