Water Assistance Funding Increasing As Drought Continues

(Minot, ND)  --  Funding for the Livestock Water Assistance Program is increasing as the drought increases.  Lawmakers added one-and-a-half-million dollars to the program to help ranchers make their land more drought resistance.  The State Water Commission also approved 400-thousand-dollars' worth of projects as the program kicks off.  The program provides cost-share assistance to producers with water shortages during the drought.
