Abnormally Dry Conditions Expand Slightly

 

The latest Drought Monitor shows that at this time there is no drought in the Southeast (not a big surprise after all our rain) but abnormally dry conditions in western Alabama and eastern Georgia have expanded. I expect the dry conditions in western Alabama to go away after Hurricane Delta moves onshore tomorrow and brings a swath of rain across LA, MS, and AL before moving to the northeast and weakening to a post-tropical depression. I am not looking forward to my drive from Ohio to Georgia on Sunday through all that rain!

Video: Adapting to ESA: Mitigation Overview

CropLife America’s “Adapting to ESA” instructional video series is designed to provide clear, field-ready guidance that supports responsible pesticide use while protecting endangered species and their habitats. This is part 1 of the four-part series moderated by Dr. Stanley Culpepper, a leading weed science specialist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension.

Part 2: Bulletins Live! Two
Part 3: Spray Drift
Part 4: Runoff

The video series is part of a new set of educational tools released by CropLife America (CLA), in partnership with the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) and the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA), to help farmers, agricultural retailers, and pesticide applicators better understand the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
