Document Description

Two-pager describes regional workshops held in March 2016 in Brookings, SD and Casper, WY to enhance and build partnerships between the regional climate and agricultural services communities. The workshops were held in conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Northern Plains Regional Climate Hub “Building Blocks” workshops and were a team effort among the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the High Plains Regional Climate Center (HPRCC), and the American Association of State Climatologists (AASC). The workshops were focused on the central and northern Plains, a region known for its highly variable climate, which can impact agriculture significantly.
