Hoeven Declares Drought Emergency for North Dakota
BISMARCK, N.D. n With extended dry conditions across the state and little significant rainfall in the forecast, Gov. John Hoeven today declared a statewide “early phase agricultural drought emergency.”
“We have the potential for continuing dry conditions that could cause real hardship to farmers and ranchers across the state,” Hoeven said. “We’ve had no appreciable precipitation in many areas of the state and this may pose a problem for crop production and for livestock water needs later on this summer.”

I think everyone is looking for a handout. How the hell have we survived to this point? The weather has not changed that much.
