A band about 10 miles wide including Hwy 34 got hit very hard out in the country not so bad in the towns where the trees got hit but protected buildings to a degree. North of Lenox, 50 plus grain bins along with legs will need replaced. Hail as usual was terrible in places that got hit. Lot of metal sheds are strung out in fields.

Here in the Southern Iowa swamp, we've had another rain today (Saturday 10;30 am). March was very dry and warm. April rained every week 10", May first two weeks dry then rain every few days the last two weeks totaling 5". June it's rained 9 of 12 days totaling 8+". The corn is a normal stand but the side hills and flats are yellow and need side dressed but we can't get in. I saw one play flying on dry this week but I doubt many will go that route. We've got a lot of replanting to do but it's too late for the corn and it will be a week of dry weather before we can get on the beans. The grass is so tall and headed out it's dangerous to check cows because you can run over a calf and can't see the calves to check anyway.
