A new group is working together to tackle big questions about livestock ponds in the Great Plains region. The NDMC hosts the Great Plains Stock Ponds Working Group in collaboration with the USDA Northern Plains and Southern Plains Climate Hubs, with support from the USDA Office of the Chief Economist. The idea for the group germinated around 2021, when the USDA Northern Plains Climate Hub was hearing from ranchers about their stock ponds drying up and poor water quality in others, causing cattle illness and death.
