The climate of Oklahoma and the southern Great Plains is characterized by high inter-annual variability including large swings in rainfall. These alternating cycles of wet and dry conditions have profound implications for agriculture within the region. This presentation will address the use of agricultural systems modeling to conduct computational research exploring the agricultural implications of drought within Oklahoma.  The presentation will consist of a brief introduction to agricultural systems modeling followed by a discussion of methods and preliminary results from on-going efforts to conduct "in silico" analysis of drought impacts.
