Drought Planning
Focus on what you can control.
A drought plan is a written risk management strategy and decision-making framework to reduce drought impacts to farmers and ranchers.
Benefits of a drought plan:
- Producers who made drought plans with Drought Advisors experienced benefits such as reductions in stress and uncertainty in drought and feeling better prepared for drought in general.
- 100% of producers who made a drought plan with our team said they would recommend drought planning to other farmers and ranchers.
We've got resources to help you make a drought plan.
Use example drought plans from the 2023-2024 Drought Plan Program, our drought planning worksheets, and refer to our Drought Planning Handbook for a detailed guide to drought planning, production-specific drought strategies, tips on using climate/weather forecasts, and more.
