This fact sheet provides an overview of drought planning for the ranch because it is not a matter of if a drought occurs, but when. Being prepared for a drought is one of the easiest things that a ranch manger can do to ensure that the operation is able to weather whatever mother nature throws at it. Be sure to read through the fact sheet and contact any of the state or field specialists listed with questions!
