Agriculture In-depth with South Dakota State Fire Weather Meteorologist Dr. Darren Clabo (Episode 7)

The current drought in central and western South Dakota has been ongoing since mid-2020. Many areas are carrying soil moisture shortages from the previous dry years, and stock ponds and surface water for both human and livestock uses are lower than average for this time of year. In this episode of Agriculture In-depth, South Dakota State Fire Weather Meteorologist Dr. Darren Clabo and DRG Media Group News and Farm Director Jody Heemstra talk about what fire weather is, how the information is used and what we can all do to help lower the risk of a grass or wildland fire starting.
