CATEGORIES:

AFFECTED AREAS:
Lancaster County, NE

Start Date: 5/13/2018 - End Date: 5/13/2018
My lawn began turning brown and going dormant this week, which us quite unusual for early May. Only 0.41" rain late this week, so soil is still dry. Plants are looking chloratic due to dry conditions. Usually aren't affected like this until late July. Lincoln had a top 10 dry April and plants are showing stress.
