With a lack of rainfall recently, the entire state of Iowa is back under some form of drought.

According to the US Drought Monitor 91 of Iowa’s 99 counties are entirely abnormally dry, including Greene, Dallas and Guthrie counties. The other eight counties have a mix of abnormally dry conditions to a moderate drought. Last week, all of Greene County, the northwest portion of Guthrie County and the northern edge of Dallas County were abnormally dry and the other parts were not under a drought.
