This is not something you want to see in your corn field. River driftwood.

Actually that’s not the only thing wrong with this picture near Eddyville, IA. The water in the background is supposed to be the rest of the field, not the Des Moines River. It was an eye opener of a drive up to Newton, IA today. The worst flooding and fields I saw were in Iowa. Even fields with some very good looking corn had huge areas of dead or very yellow plants where it looked like water had pooled up for a while.

At least the sun was shining most of the way up. However, I did drive through a line of showers right after getting into Iowa earlier this afternoon.
