New NU Drought Web Site Offers Latest Information, Resources
LINCOLN, Neb. — A new University of Nebraska Web site provides Cooperative Extension and other resources to help Nebraskans cope with drought.
The NU Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources' Drought Resources and Information Web site features a variety of drought-related information from managing crops and livestock to handling stress and maintaining landscapes, said DeLynn Hay, Cooperative Extension program leader.
"This site is one point of entry where people can access drought-related information as we continue to deal with the situation," Hay said. "It's an easy way to get information without having to go to a lot of places."
The site is at Drought Information and Resources for Nebraskans. The IANR news stories, Web broadcasts and extension publications that this site offers come from NU extension specialists and IANR researchers.
The site includes print articles, audio and video interviews, extension's Crop Watch newsletter, and links to the National Drought Mitigation Center, extension's Market Journal, weather information and other resources.
The site was developed by IANR's Communications and Information Technology unit. It's updated regularly to offer the latest news and information on Nebraska's ongoing drought.
