Tuesday, July 17, 2012 – Daily News WALTONVILLE, Ill. (AP) — The nation's widest drought in decades is spreading, with more than half of the continental United States now in some stage of drought and most of the rest enduring abnormally dry condi- tions. West, the Great Plains and the Midwest, fueled by the 14th warmest and 10th driest June on record, the report said. Topsoil has turned dry while Only in the 1930s and the 1950s has a drought covered more land, according to federal figures released Monday. So far, there's little risk of a Dust Bowl-type cat- astrophe, but crop losses could mount if rain doesn't come soon. In its monthly drought report, the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., announced that 55 percent of the country was in a moderate to extreme drought at the end of June. The parched con- ditions expanded last month in the ''crops, pastures and rangeland have deteriorated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18 years,'' the report said. corn that he grows to feed his 400 head of cattle and 30,000 hogs. Now he's scrambling to find hun- dreds of thousands of bushels of replacement feed. ''Where am I going to get that The percentage of affected land is the largest since December 1956, when 58 percent of the country was covered by drought, and it rivals even some years in the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, though experts point out that this year's weather has been milder than that period, and farming prac- tices have been vastly improved since then. In southern Illinois, Kenny Brummer has lost 800 acres of from? You have concerns about it every morning when you wake up,'' said Brummer, who farms near Waltonville. ''The drought is bad, but that's just half of the prob- lem on this farm.'' Around a third of the nation's corn crop has been hurt, with some of it so badly damaged that farmers have already cut down their withered plants to feed to cat- tle. As of Sunday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said, 38 percent of the corn crop was in poor or very poor condition, com- pared with 30 percent a week earlier. ''This is definitely the epicenter — right in the heart of the Mid- west,'' said climatologist Mark Svoboda with the Nebraska-based National Drought Mitigation Cen- ter. farmers who had expected a record year when they sowed 96.4 million acres in corn, the most since 1937. The Department of Agriculture initially predicted national average corn yields of 166 bushels per acre this year. The agency has revised that projection down to 146, and more reductions are possible if condi- tions don't improve. The lower projection is still an improvement over the average It's all a huge comedown for Drought now grips more than half of the nation 5B yields of around 129 bushels a decade ago. But already tight sup- plies and fears that the drought will get worse before it gets better have been pushing up grain prices, which are likely to translate into higher food prices for consumers, particularly for meat and poultry. Monday's report was based on data going back to 1895 called the Palmer Drought Index. It feeds into the widely watched and more detailed U.S. Drought Monitor, which reported last week that 61 percent of the continental U.S. was in a moderate to exceptional drought. However, the weekly Drought Monitor goes back only 12 years, so climatologists use the Palmer Drought Index for com- paring droughts before 2000.
