(Washington, IA) — Despite widespread rainfall earlier this week, drought conditions are worsening across Iowa, according to the latest U-S Drought Monitor map. Field agronomist Rebecca Vittetoe with Iowa State University Extension, says there’s a few more areas that are in D-3 — or extreme drought — compared to last week. Extreme drought is now shown in five western counties: Cherokee, Monona, Plymouth, Sioux, and Woodbury, while statewide, 67 counties are now in some form of drought, up from 64 counties last week. Vittetoe says Iowa’s two biggest crops, corn and soybeans, are suffering fairly equally in the drought.
