Drought conditions

Published: July 27, 2012 2:27PM

The drop in water level now exposes the river bottom, forcing river traffic to a trickle as barges are forced to lessen their loads to keep from getting stuck on sandbars. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis) A few raindrops still cling to drought-damaged corn near Worthwine Island Thursday morning July 26, 2012, following heavy thunderstorms north of St. Joseph, Mo. For these plants, the rain is a case of too little too late as the ears were not able to properly develop. Other areas in Northwest Missouri including St. Joseph received little or no rain from the cold front that dropped temperatures from 100 degrees to the lower 90s. (AP Photo/St. Joseph News-Press, Eric Keith) Drought-damaged corn is seen near Lawrence, Mich. on Friday, July 27, 2012. As far north as southeastern Michigan the 2012 drought is effecting crops. Farmers in four western Upper Peninsula counties are expected to be eligible for low-interest loans due to heat- and drought-related crop damage and losses. The drought follows a blow to Michigan's tree fruit industry this year. The federal government earlier declared most of Michigan a disaster area because of damage to fruit crops from spring weather, making growers eligible to seek low-interest loans.

Solis) A field of dried corn plants is seen near Percival, Iowa, Thursday, July 26, 2012. The widest drought to grip the United States in decades is getting worse with no signs of abating. The drought covering two-thirds of the continental U.S. had been considered relatively shallow, the product of months without rain, rather than years, but a report released Thursday showed its intensity is rapidly increasing, with 20 percent of the nation now in the two worst stages of drought, up 7 percent from last week.

The drought that is worsening across the U.S. is also intensifying in Oklahoma, the U.S. Drought Monitor reported, leaving cattle ranchers looking for ways to feed their herds. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki) A tanker truck passes over the East Broadway bridge over a nearly dried up Wood River Creek in Alton, Ill., Wednesday July 25, 2012. An historical lack of rain has Illinois locked in one of the worst droughts in more than 50 years and no significant rainfall is forecast. Normal water levels for the creek, which is growing grass in its bed in some places, can be seen as dark marks on the piers that support the bridge. Wood River Creek carries rainfall runoff and other water to the Mississippi River about a mile away. (AP Photo/The Telegraph, John Badman)
