Noble Foundation offers new resource for drought stricken farmers, ranchers in Southern Great Plains

NEWS RELEASE
Issued - July 28, 2011

ARDMORE, Okla. - Today the Noble Foundation launched a new online resource to assist farmers and ranchers, who are enduring one of the worst droughts since the Dust Bowl.

Noble Foundation agricultural consultants have developed www.noble.org/drought , a Web page that will serve as a central repository for information to assist agricultural producers in managing their properties and resources throughout this difficult situation.

"This is a once-in-a-generation drought," said Billy Cook, senior vice president and director of the Agricultural Division. "We haven't seen this type of heat and lack of precipitation since the record-setting drought of the mid-1950s or even the Dust Bowl. Lloyd Noble established the Noble Foundation to assist producers after he witnessed the devastating effects of the Dust Bowl. Decades later, we're equipped with the knowledge and experience to help farmers and ranchers to successfully endure this drought."
