The ongoing drought is significantly impacting U.S. agriculture, particularly in regions reliant on irrigation. With 35.8% of the country experiencing drought, crop yields are at risk, and farmers face increased costs to maintain production. The USDA highlights that water scarcity is a critical issue, as irrigated farms are responsible for a disproportionate share of crop sales. The variability in drought conditions and soil moisture levels further complicates the adoption of drought mitigation products, which may not perform consistently across different environments.
