(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa farmers aren’t the only ones being hurt by the state’s widespread drought conditions. Some business ventures are being impacted dramatically. The Seven Oaks tubing and floating business near Boone is still operating, but it’s being forced to make accommodations. A spokesman says they have to pay a lot more attention to water levels for the customers who arrive seeking a two-to-four-hour float on the river. General Manager Joel Bryan says if northern Iowa doesn’t get more rain in the next few weeks, there might not be enough water to float on. Water depth is estimated now at one-to-two feet.
