Wright County Downgraded To Moderate Drought Conditions

Press release from the Wright County Government:

June 24, 2021

The United States Drought Monitor has downgraded Wright County from the “Abnormally Dry” category to “Moderate Drought” as warm temperatures and the lack of rain is causing a strain on the ability for crops, lawns and gardens to survive without irrigation, as well as increasing the danger of the spread of wildfires. Currently, almost 75 percent of Minnesota is under the “Moderate Drought” designation.
