Drought or abnormal dryness has expanded or intensified across parts of the West, Midwest, other parts of the Plains during the month of April as area farmers are now in full spring tilling and planting mode.
The wet weather this year started me thinking about growing up and some of the conversations overheard at the kitchen table. Would you rather it be too wet? Or too dry.
In the summer of 1988 Sioux Falls melted under a record-breaking heatwave. South Dakota and much of the country suffered along with us during a horrible drought.
