USDA put Weston County in a
D2 drought designation begin-
ning Sept. 14.
The declaration makes
Weston County producers eli-
gible to apply for emergency
loans. The issue, Livingston
said, is the time period associ-
ated with the declaration, and the
fact that the declaration should
have been made earlier and that
some areas in the county were
in worse conditions than others.
“I don’t know if the whole
county suffered as extensively
as us, but I know 'in the southern
part it was tough. Isolated parts
throughout the county had way
more precipitation than others.
One weather station is not going
to be a total fix, but it is better
than not having any,” Livingston
said. “We are looking at a large
amount of country with a wide
variance weathgjconditions.”

commissioners, on behalf of
local ag producers, see a lack
of diversity in the monitoring of
the county. The letter would also
state that the county receives
a varying amount of precipita-
tion, depending on the area and
distance from the Black Hills
and that the commission feels
that having a monitoring station
in the county would give a more
accurate account of the weather
pattern seen in the county and
region in general.
The commissioners all
expressed support for providing
a comment and exploring
options for a weather station
in the county. Commissioner
Marty Ertman noted that the
requirement for certifying indi-
viduals to report precipitation
and other weather information
should also be explored.
“Somehow, Weneed to put
in that the process here needs
to be reevaluated. It’s not like

get this information to them,”
Ertman said.
Commissioner Tony Barton
added that if it is a matter of
expending money to put in a
station, he believes it would be
a wise investment for the county
to make, depending on the price.
“I think the benefits out-
weigh the costs,” Barton said.
Todd noted that there is no
question that a weather station
would benefit multiple people
throughout the area.
“We need to get a letter
drafted, get that comment to
them, let them know we are
not satisfied with how we are
being monitored,” Chairman Ed
Wagoner said.
Todd said that the letter
should include what the
county needs to do to get more
reporters certified, what could
upgraded to help the. situa-
tion and any, other information
that the county may need to
consider. ’
