NRCS Initiates Land Management Practices in Kansas to Counter Severe Weather
What happened
Historic drought conditions have been recorded in Kansas, with precipitation measurements showing Wichita experienced the second driest July–August since 1888. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is currently implementing practices through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to combat severe weather threats, including droughts. These efforts focus on reducing soil erosion from wind and water by stabilizing topsoil and improving land cover.
