The U.S. Drought Monitor is a weekly assessment of drought conditions.

This is a team effort between the National Drought Mitigation Center, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Many agencies use the drought monitor for various reasons:

The USDA uses the drought monitoring system to trigger disaster declarations and eligibility for low-interest loans.
The Farm Service Agency uses it for its livestock forage program.
The Internal Revenue Service uses it for tax deferral on forced livestock sales.
Although drought is often used in conjunction with rain, it's more complicated than that.
