In early June, my husband and I travelled to northern Illinois for his family reunion. We travelled along the Missouri and Iowa side of the Mississippi River, viewing hundreds of miles of flooded fields than could not be plowed. Unprecedented rain fell in the Spring. The rivers, springs and creeks could not handle the water that flows to the Mississippi River. I wondered how these farmers were surviving the season. It's June and the fields have so much water. Plowing is impossible!
As we visited family in northern Illinois that are dairy farmers, we learned the impact of the flooding.
