“Exceptional drought” covers 32 million acres in south Texas
Aug 3, 2009 11:01 AM, By Ron Smith, Farm Press Editorial Staff
Drought in South Texas considered exceptional, the worst category possible to rate drought conditions, covers enough land mass to include the entire states of Vermont, Massachusetts, new Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island and Hawaii.
The long-term drought includes almost 19 percent of Texas and some of the most productive agricultural land in the Southwest, under better circumstances.
Exceptional drought covers more than 32 million acres, says sources with the Texas Department of Agriculture in Austin
