Would you like to be a part of the development of risk management tools that:
  • can help with management decisions such as buying or selling cattle, using irrigation or limited tillage and whether to plant more drought-resistant crops?

  • have some predictive capability, though it is still highly experimental?

  • help communicate ground-level conditions and experiences to federal and state decision-makers, claims adjusters and others?

  • can help track market conditions?

The 2010 North Carolina Drought Management Tools Workshop will be at the McKimmon Center, North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C., April 1, and is sponsored by the Risk Management Agency, National Drought Mitigation Center, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Computer Science and Engineering Department, N.C. Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, and the State Climate Office of North Carolina, NC State University, NC Department of Agriculture.
