Sorry to hear of the damage.
My prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time.

What a shame for all the homes/roads/vehicles damaged in so many towns. That will cost millions again, and a huge stress for all affected.

Screw the crops, too much supply in the world any way!

Could be way worse though. Could be experiencing a drought!!!

You people babbling about dry have no idea what these events do to family farms and communities. It has effects for years after.

Can t wait to see if this rain keeps up until crap insurance makes us ruin equipment in order to get settlement for crop losses of which they will only cover a fraction of the loss and nothing of the additional loss on equipment and manpower hours.

Did you get nailed again riders? Just went for a short walk on my best land. Sure is not pretty. Close to actually crying. If it weren't for my family, and our company who are here, I would be. Unreal out there.

4.3 inches since Saturday. The two weeks prior total was 9.5 inches. But that varies greatly almost from field to field as one neighbor tells of 2 inches at their yard and another a mile over has half inch while the next is probably higher than the 2 looking at the fields.
It has to not rain at all until harvest to even think of putting equipment on the field. Water over the grid road streams running off the fields into the ditch. And it's raining right now.
