  1. Due to a drought, 20 Alabama counties have been designated as primary natural disaster areas, according to Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries Rick Pate.

    The 20 primary counties included in the disaster designation are Autauga, Chilton, Choctaw, Clarke, Dallas, Franklin, Greene, Hale, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Lowndes, Madison, Marengo, Morgan, Perry, Sumter, Washington, Wilcox, and Winston.

    “The drought affected over half of the counties in Alabama,” said Pate. “We encourage farmers to reach out to their local USDA offices for details about available funding.”

    The U.S. Drought Monitor says these counties are suffering from abnormally dry conditions in 2025.

    If only the federal government cared. As is, it’s being dismantled and the executive is saying he prefers states handle disasters without any aid or support from the nation.

  3. This will only get worse as time goes on. If only we had a government that cared about mitigating climate change.

  4. As an Alabama native, this seems happens every year between spring and summer. During summer though it rains like crazy.
