SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Drought and dry conditions in South Dakota are improving thanks to recent rainfall and cooler temperatures. This week’s U.S. Drought Monitor report shows only around 25% of South Dakota is still under varying degrees of drought conditions, with just a small pocket of Charles Mix County in extreme drought. The dry conditions are concentrated in southeastern and eastern South Dakota. Just three weeks ago, around 75% of South Dakota was in drought. Now 63% of the state has normal conditions. And South Dakota is in better shape than most other Midwestern states. Drought conditions are widespread in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.
