The nation is suffering its worst drought in decades. Only in the 1930s and 1950s has a drought covered more land, a recent federal report noted.The National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., said 55 percent of the country was in a moderate to extreme drought by the end of June. And thus far, despite a few showers here and there, things arent getting any better.Topsoil has turned dry while  crops, pastures and rangeland have de <a href=https://www.cup-stanley.es>stanley taza</a> teriorated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18 years,  the climate center  <a href=https://www.stanleymugs.us>stanley flask</a> said. The percentage of affected land is the largest since December 1956, when 58 percent of the country was covered by drought, and it rivals even some years in the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, according to the data.Corn, wheat and soybean crops have been hit hard, particularly in the traditionally productive MidwestCattle growers, with little productive rangeland and less corn for feed, have been selling off herds. In the short run, this might cause a dip in beef prices at the supermarket, but over t <a href=https://www.stanleycups.ro>stanley cupe</a> he long haul, those prices are likely to rise.In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture anticipates that food prices as a whole will rise by 3 percent next year. Thats an unsettling prospect when the economy continues to stagnate.The Pueblo  Colo.  Chieftain  Aug. 9 More articles from the BDN
