Flash Drought,
. . . In US High Plains,
. . . May Have Already Destroyed
. . . 1/2 Of This Year’s Wheat Crop.
Considering that the Montana and Dakota region,
. . . is now one of the top wheat-growing regions in the world,
. . . the damage is very notable.
Only 6 years back,
. . . it was actually one of the wettest years on record in eastern Montana.
Those sorts of rapid swings,
. . . between extreme precipitation, and flooding on the one hand, and
. . . extreme flash droughts on the other, a
. . . re only going to become more common from here on out.
Eventually, most of the agriculture in the region will have to cease.
. . . Though, there are probably a couple of decades left before that happens.
