Abnormally dry conditions decrease in AL, GA

By Pam Knox

The latest Drought Monitor, released earlier this week, shows that there was a significant decrease in abnormally dry (D0) in southeast Alabama, with a smaller decrease in the area in Georgia due to rain. Rain since the last map should further reduce the area of D0 in the next map. You can view the DM every week at https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/, with new maps coming out each Thursday morning.

We're seeing a decline in productive land, the nutritional value of our food and our connection to the natural world.

But by working in harmony with nature, regenerative agriculture revitalizes the soil, improves water management and fosters ecological balance.

Regenerative farms are leading the way, showing that what benefits the farm also benefits the climate. With land surrounded by rolling coulees, rugged badlands and the Rocky Mountains, Gerrid Knol, a second generation farmer in the heart of southern Alberta, understands the importance of working in harmony with nature.

In addition to using regenerative practices on his farm, Gerrid is a participant of Rural Routes to Climate Solution's Regenerative Agriculture Lab (RAL) and is working with others to determine how to increase the adoption of regenerative agriculture in Alberta.
