Even though it’s been dry in the Southeast, other parts of the country are experiencing extensive flooding that is causing significant damage to crops. AgWeb posted a story a few days ago describing the potential loss of up to one million acres due to flooding along the Missouri, Mississippi and other rivers in the Midwest. Many other acres may have been affected by standing water caused by up to 6 inches of rain in a day, but the consequences of that rain are not yet known.

Crop consultant Michael Cordonnier says there might be a half million to 1 million U.S. corn acres lost due to the flooding, according to Pro Farmer. (CNN)
