As of January 11, it’s easy, our area is in moderate drought. The Southwest portion of Kansas is in extreme drought. The six to ten-day outlook (January 18 to 22) indicates we are predicted to have a 33 to 40% chance of above-normal temperatures and a leaning towards below-normal precipitation.

The Barton Community College Nursing Department wishes to announce that it will host a site visit for continuing accreditation of its Associate Degree nursing program by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).

This is being written before the release of the Thursday Drought Monitor Report.  However, we are listed as abnormally dry the past week and that hasn’t changed and precipitation chances are spotty at best
