Iowa crops rated highly; some counties have access to disaster funding
Iowa corn and soybeans remained mostly in good condition, and disaster loans of up to $2 million are available in eight counties.
- On Monday, the Small Business Association approved Gov. Kim Reynolds' request for disaster aid in eight Iowa counties affected by July Fourth storms, even as corn and soybean crops remain in good to excellent condition.
- Severe storms and flooding over the July Fourth weekend prompted the aid, as areas in Boone, Dallas, Jasper, Madison, Marion, Polk, Story, and Warren counties received more than two months' worth of rain in several days.
- The latest report from Agriculture shows 87% of corn is silking, with 80% of corn and 78% of soybeans rated in good to excellent condition during the recent reporting period.
- Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig noted that while crop conditions generally remain strong, wind, hail, and pockets of excessive rainfall or dryness have created variability across the state in recent weeks.
- Although more areas slid into the Drought Monitor, State Climatologist Justin Glisan reported statewide precipitation averaged 0.99 inch, with stifling temperatures and humidity forecast to break by mid-week.
