No Burning
Yankton County is in a High Category with the Grassland fire index. Most of Yankton county has been put in a D3 drought. Extreme Drought (D3) Major crop/pasture losses; extreme fire danger; widespread water shortages or restrictions. I am extending the NO burning in Yankton County until further notice. Conditions are very dry out. If a person still choses to burn and it gets away, you could be fined and have to pay the cost to control the fire.
