    My brother and his wife live in Iowa city and I think they are still without power. He said trees are down everywhere in town.

    Saw video of my buddies place in northwest Oklahoma and he had a train that blew off the tracks Across the big field infront of his house. That’s some serious wind.

    There is millions of bushels of grain storage destroyed out there.

    I talked with a friend north of Des Moines and they said their town looked like a war zone.

    Serious shit. 2020...

    JASPER COUNTY, Iowa —
    Early estimates indicate that 10 million acres of farmland was flatted Monday during the derecho, according to Gov. Kim Reynolds.

    Reynolds said during her Tuesday news conference that the state estimates at least one third of Iowa crops sustained damage during the severe storms.

    The devastation comes as a second blow to Iowa farmers already dealing with a trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Jasper County farmer Brian Rumbaugh said Monday’s storm flattened most of his 450 acres of corn, destroying what he said would have been a good crop.

    Rumbaugh said he has never seen a natural disaster comparable to the derecho in his 50 years of farming.

    “This is the worst one I've ever had,” he said. “We had tornadoes go through a while back, tornadoes 300-400 feet wide, (but) this was everything.”

    Rumbaugh said his crop insurance will likely make up for some of the losses, though other farmers may not be as lucky.

    “It's probably 30-40 years I've had it, and thank God,” he said. “That's what you have insurance for is a failsafe, but I've never collected a dime … which is good. Now they owe me.”

    Why is that corn in the first photo still so green? It seems late in the year for it to be so young.

    Is there nothing that can be done to salvage it? Could it be silage chopped into animal feed or ethanol biomass? Of course with big silos flattened, even if it could be, there might be anywhere to store it.

    100 MPH straight line winds will flatten most anything.

    They plant 30-45 days later than us. Their crop will start to turn soon and be ready for harvest in about 30 days. As far as harvesting flat corn, you will tear up more equipment than you will gather crop. Put a fence around it and let some cows graze it but still issues with that.
