Yeah, corn in general is causing a lot of health problems. It's nearly impossible to find any food item that doesn't have some corn based something in it, and look at the obesity rates!
Farmers can try to salvage the corn leaning over by coming in from the direction it leans forward with a corn chopper, but it’s going to take longer. Usually just cattle farms have corn choppers, others have combines setup just to harvest the corn kernels.
livein4 Christ I saw a video of an apt being ripped off in Sioux City. My family just moved from Davenport this past spring and have friends with severe damage.
Day 10, we finally got power again. The damage through our small town was more like a tornado except that all of the trees were just broken or pulled up by their rootball rather than twisted, and a cemetery had a lot of damage from trees that were down. The corn fields I've seen are mostly flat, again something a tornado does, but the wind and rain was going straight west to east, not coming down from the sky. I'd never seen anything of this magnitude in Iowa ever before and hope I never see it again.
Unfortunately, the bad thing about this one is it was 100+ mph winds consistently for over 40 minutes here in CR. If your structure isn't built to withstand hurricanes, Eventually, it's gonna rip apart. And most of Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha Marion area after this storm was like a Bomb went off everywhere in town and in the outskirts.

@@arsemyth8920 Never watched much 'Friends' before. I don't like big / crowded cities anyway. My whole 25 sq. mile county has 53,000 people in it. Guess I like the more quite life. Take care - be safe.
Current record in Benton County for a damage path through a field is 4.2 miles, 20,000 bushel bin rolled the entire time, over two gravel roads and took power poles out, we found one just shy of 2 miles in a field yesterday, fun getting that out...
Hopefully city people are watching this. I know it hasn’t been fun there either. It has been a tough year for the farmers and ranchers. Hopefully a lot can weather this storm literally. We didn’t have the wind event like Iowa but we had a major hail storm on June 8 that took almost 3500 acre out of 5500 we farm yes we have insurance but it not the same as selling it just covers cost with little profit.
alek the relief came from FEMA to help with debris removal and repair governmental buildings, which is a good thing! Trump, however, did not approve any individual assistance, ya know for things like homes that were destroyed or any money for agriculture farmland damage or any public assistance (essentially billions that would actually help farm families). Therefore, the state of Iowa gets to foot more of the bill. But what do I know? I’m pretty ignorant.
Wow. "Why should people care about this?" That's got to be the absolute shittiest question to ask a man who works hard to provide for his family and feed the nation.
US farmers are so productive that the 2020 corn will be a surplus and these affected farmer's crop insurance will just help because of record low grain prices.
I have heard years ago that farmers were cutting down trees designed to stop straight line winds from the dust-bowl days. This damage might be related. Possibly they need to replant windbreaks for the future.
Most of this corn is for ethanol, not food. Nobody's driving due to Covid, so it probably won't have as big an impact on the large picture as you'd think. Sure the individual farmer will have a huge impact, but the prices would probably be low due to no demand anyway
Many Iowa farmers only produce corn for ethanol. The corn crops that were damaged only hurt the oil company's. I lived there and many farms only grew corn for non food purposes . As stated, travel is way down so this year's crops will probably impact gas prices more than food prices. Wheat was already harvested a month ago. That would have hurt us way more.
Once farmers sell their corn to a grain elevator, they have no idea what it's used for. Thirty-five percent of corn is used for animal feed. One bushel of corn converts to about 8 pounds of beef, 15.6 pounds of pork, or 21.6 pounds of chicken
If you are close to 60 GO ON TAKE THE INSURANCE MONEY AND RUN "Steve Miller Song". You won't farm long enough to recoup your investment. Insurance money might do better in stock market.

Nope, they have had every type of chopper and combine head in the fields and nothing works, plugs up, and can only go in one direction. I actually saw a guy with a two row corn head on a tractor picking ear corn, and another was dishing his corn back in and sowing oats. This is heavy seed country, not looking good.

Little do many people know corn makes corn syrup and many other chemicals/products which are in nearly everything we consume.

If Iowa didn’t make corn products New Yorkers wouldn’t be drinking Their Starbucks Frappuccinos....or at least they would taste different.
Plus the by-product is dried and feed to cattle. So it's possible that the meat they eat might have been feed to the cattle etc.
