Drought conditions prompt Wisconsin Gov to declare a state of emergency in 42 southern and central counties
Drought has hit plants during the most vulnerable time in their growing cycle, killing their pollen.
“The lack of rainfall since May in the southern half of the state has hit hard in a crucial part of the growing season,” Walker said in a statement. “Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics Service reports this week that most of the land in these counties is short or very short of soil moisture.”
- With 78,000 farms across the state, Wisconsin is the nation’s top producer of cranberries, oats and snap peas and is among the top-five producing states of potatoes, maple syrup, sweet corn, green peas, cucumbers for pickles, and other crops, said Wisconsin Department of Agriculture.
- The state is also home to about 13,000 dairy farms with an average of 100 cows.
- All counties in the southern half of the state are affected.

Sandstorms and Extreme Weather Kill 31 in Egypt
Death toll from sandstorms and extreme weather events in Egypt rises to 31, dozens injured

Dust and Violent Weather in the Eastern Mediterranean
A natural-color image of the eastern Mediterranean taken by MODIS on NASA’s Aqua satellite on December 12, 2010. “Clouds almost cover the Mediterranean Sea, as well as parts of Israel and Lebanon. Along the margin of the cloudbank, dust blows toward the northeast. Source points of dust plumes appear in Egypt and Jordan, and a thick plume of dust blows over Syria. In Egypt, dust nearly hides the Nile River, and completely covers the Nile Delta.” Source: NASA/E-O. Click image to enlarge. Download larger image (7 MB, JPEG).
