The US Agriculture in Drought file is updated each Thursday by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Office of the Chief Economist, based on that morning’s US Drought Monitor map. Produced by the US Department of Agriculture, the National Drought Mitigation Center at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the US Department of Commerce, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Weekly reports show a drought map of the United States, plus maps of US crop areas experiencing drought (map), approximate percentage of crop located in drought, by state (bar graph), and percent of crop area located in drought, past 52 weeks (line graph), for some or all of the following: corn, soybeans, hay, cattle, and winter wheat.
