YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Drought conditions are worsening across Georgia, with 98% of the state now in some level of drought and at least 18% in exceptional drought, the most severe category.

Farmers are feeling the strain during planting season, with dry, hardened soil making fieldwork difficult and threatening yields for major crops like cotton, peanuts and wheat. No meaningful rain is expected in the coming days, and temperatures are forecast to climb near 90 degrees.
