MANY PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR LACK OF RAINFALL IN RECENT WEEKS ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND DESPITE NEARLY ALL OF KANSAS BEING IN SOME TYPE OF DROUGHT STATUS, USDA METEOROLOGIST, ERIC LUEBEHUSEN SAYS OVERALL, CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR THE HARVEST OF CORN AND SOYBEANS
A LARGE MAJORITY OF FRANKLIN AND ANDERSON COUNTIES ARE IN MODERATE DROUGHT, WHILE SOUTHERN ANDERSON COUNTY IS CLASSIFIED AS SEVERE DROUGHT. THE USDA ALSO REMINDS MOTORIST TO BE AWARE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS ON ROADWAYS AND TO SLOW DOWN, BE PATIENT AND GIVE THEM PLENTY OF ROOM AND ONLY PASS THEM WHEN YOU HAVE A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT AND THEY HAVE PULLED OVER AS FAR AS THEY CAN ON THE ROAD.
