Thanks to recent winter storms the state of Kansas is currently experiencing its best drought conditions in over a year.This week about half of the Sunflower state is drought-free.
This time last year it was another story, just over ninety-three percent of Kansas had a water deficit. The ping pong game of drought can have severe consequences for small businesses that rely on wet weather.
Earlier this week, KRPS Senior Announcer Matthew Witt spoke with Dacia Clark, the Regional Director of the Small Business Development Center at Pittsburg State
University. Last fall the SBDC was awarded a $100,000 grant to host a series of Business Resiliency Bootcamps focusing on training and instruction in three areas — Strategies for Improving Financial Management, Thrifty Marketing, and Using AI.
As we join their conversation, Dacia is explaining the scope and reach of the project.

The first workshop will be held Friday March 1 at Neosho County Community College in Chanute, KS.
It runs from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm and includes breakfast, lunch and a snack, all at no cost for small business owners.
(A small business is defined as having fewer than 500 employees.)
