He says Northern Iowa didn t get much help from that rain, and is still in moderate to severe drought.
Hall says Iowa s riding a very thin line line right now between more drought and less drought. A couple of weeks without any rain and we d see and expansion of D-0 (abnormally dry) conditions, but if we got a decent rainfall, we d see D-0 cut back. Often times, hat sourt of improvement happens on the fringes, and that s what we saw in this week s drought monitor he says.

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Wednesday at the new location of Community Health Center of Southern Iowa in Knoxville. CEO Samantha Cannon says this clinic will fulfill identified needs in Knoxville.
“We are a federally qualified health center, and we’re also a community mental health center, the only organization that’s both in Iowa. We started off with two locations in Decatur County in 2005, and have since grown to 11 locations in 11 counties. Our services range from office to office.
