Rainfall Offers Brief Hope in Western Drought
Torrents across the Great Plains brought relief to dryland farmers and ranchers with revived pastures and usable ground for planting. Experts caution that one good shower cannot end a multi year drought and that two abnormal years of rain are needed to replenish subsoil moisture. The system drenched New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and parts of Kansas and Missouri, causing both gains and flooding in Roswell and Monahans.
