South Carolina Upgrades Drought To Moderate Level
The drought in Columbia South Carolina has advanced from incipient to moderate with forecasters warning conditions will persist. In Fort Mill only 30 percent of normal rainfall since May, temperatures in the 80s and 90s persist, and fire danger remains high despite lifted bans. Farmers face approaching severe drought as two thirds of corn crops are poor or very poor and soil moisture is critically low. County boards are to file preliminary farm reports to the USDA to evaluate aid needs.
