My counties (Pope) & (Swift) is in a moderate drought right now. Certain areas received an inch or more last week, but much of the area had .3 tenths. Overall we have had less than 2 inches since March, with very little late snow.
It is starting to look a bit bleak in my area in the forecast, anyone else in dry conditions? Time to water the apple trees. The biggest concern is crops, need to get rain soon or we will have some yield issues.

Todd county is "abnormally dry" but with the forecast, I'm guessing we get moved to moderate drought next week. My little micro chunk of the county has received more than some areas and less than others.

I haven’t checked any official maps but it is dry.
Surprising that crops have held on.

I spent last weekend at my place in Rusk County Wisconsin and it was surprisingly dry there. To be honest, it was kind of a relief to see that as opposed to the extreme moisture that flooded portions of my fields up there the past two years. The dry weather isn't great news for my young fruit trees though.

The wind has not helped, top soil is very dry.

I just drove from Brainerd to Minneapolis and when you cross at Clearwater you can see the water line of the Mississippi river. Sandbars are above the water line which on a typically year happens in August. Its dry for certain.

Dry at home and the hunting land. Sprinkler running on the lawn right now. Supposed to have gotten some rain at the hunting land so I'm headed up tomorrow to seed the trails. Not much in the forecast but I'm going to gamble anyway.

The Little Fork River in the Kooch was high and muddy last night. My neighbor to the South has riverfront and invited Mrs Kooch and I down to fish from the bank last night for a while. We didn't fish, just watched him and his grandson. They caught one Walleye. They were not fishing like I'd fish, but he's the one that's lived there his entire life so maybe he's got it figured out. He just hooks a minnow on a floating jig head and puts a sinker a couple feet above. Then he casts and lets it sit.
But, about the drought. That river was high.
Edit - But it flows North, which I think is pretty cool. He showed me a digital picture of an old kodak instant camera picture, of a 17 pound sturgeon he caught right were we were standing, years ago.

I have heard of Musky in there, also.
I have caught musky out of the Big Fork, but never on the LF.
