Drought Management Workshop

Drought is a normal part of Nebraska climate.  It is not a question of if drought will occur, but rather when it will occur, how long it will last, and are you prepared.  This one-day workshop offered a variety of speakers from Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado as well as a variety of topics that will help ranchers to better prepare for and respond to future drought.  A presentation  by Justin Derner (ARS Cheyenne, WY) and Jack Morgan (ARS Fort Collins, CO) discussed climate change and its potential management impacts for Rangelands of the Great Plains.
