    How would better coordination between USDA, Commerce, and Interior on drought data help farmers and water managers make decisions differently than they do today?

  2. 02

    What specific drought monitoring gaps does the bill aim to fill, and how would an interagency working group address those gaps more effectively?

  3. 03

    Since the bill reauthorizes the Drought Monitor program through 2030 but mentions no funding amount, how would Congress determine adequate resources to implement these improvements?
