As dry conditions create stress for farmers, DNR announces drought warning

Created: July 16, 2021 10:37 PM Minnesota lawns and farm fields are a blend of brown, gold and green as the state’s drought continues. On Friday, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced a drought warning. “It s often quite common to get drought in the state for short periods of time, I think what s maybe unique about it is right now is how widespread it is across the state,” said Randall Doneen, the conservation assistance and regulations section manager within the DNR’s ecological and water resources division. “What we re seeing is large portions are either moderate drought or severe drought.” According to the DNR, 52% of Minnesota is now experiencing a severe drought. Another 4% of the state is in an extreme drought.

Drought prompts stepped-up response, possible water limits

Copy shortlink: MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota officials stepped up their drought response on Friday as the state grows drier, which threatens water supplies, agriculture and more wildfires. Minnesota has now reached the threshold to trigger the warning phase under the statewide drought plan, the Department of Natural Resources said. And the department said it expects another threshold for public water systems that draw from the Mississippi River will be tripped in the coming days as stream flows drop. Under current conditions, it will take at least three to five inches of precipitation spread over a period of about two weeks to significantly alleviate the drought, the DNR said in statement.
