Upcoming Webinar:

Drought Preparedness and Adaptation
Wednesday, October 16th 2024 at 2pm CT

While many of us have been drought-free this spring and early summer, the summer heat and dry conditions have led to the return of drought, particularly across portions of the Ohio River Basin. Parts of Ohio are now seeing the worst drought since 1988 and parts of Great Plains are in multi-year droughts. Tune into this edition of The Current Webinar Series as we hear from land-grant professionals in Kansas, Minnesota and Ohio on how producers in their state are preparing and adapting to drought, whether they are currently facing dry conditions or not.

Featured Speakers:

  • Ron Graber, Watershed Specialist, Kansas State Research and Extension
  • Aaron Wilson, Assistant Professor and Climate Field Specialist, The Ohio State University. 
  • Mae Davenport, Professor and Director of the Center for Changing Landscapes, University of Minnesota
