Slight Increase in Dry Conditions this Week

By Pam Knox

The latest Drought Monitor, released this morning, shows that there have been very slight increases in the area covered by abnormally dry (D0) conditions in Georgia and South Carolina this week. With the rain from TS Eta falling yesterday and today, I expect that will decrease in next week’s map.

Video: Dry Farming, Deer Fencing, and Cover Crops in the Paths with Eric Nordell

We cover: today I am so excited to share this conversation with my buddy Eric Nordell of Beech Grove Farm in Pennsylvania to chat about, well, a lot of things. Eric and his wife Anne have run beech grove farm since 1983 and they do things a little differently (like farming with horses) but they dry farm which we discuss, they use some cover crops in the paths in interesting ways (also discussed) and in fact, we get into a whole digression about their deer fencing that you’re gonna wanna hear.
