Drought deemed costliest disaster in U S history
The 1988 drought is labeled the costliest natural disaster in American history with farm losses estimated at 11 to 15 billion dollars. Consumers will bear most losses and the impact will extend into 1989. The drought’s effect on gross national product could slow growth, with economists estimating a large overall damage. Neil Hart of Iowa State University calls it the biggest physical disaster agriculture has faced.
