(Des Moines, IA) — A severe storm that swept through the state last week is forcing some Iowa farmers to replant their crops. A USDA report shows corn planting had been completed and only three-percent of the beans weren’t in the ground. However, some pockets of heavy rain and isolated severe hail damaged the crops. The USDA says 95-percent of the state’s corn has emerged and 86-percent is rated in good to excellent condition. Eighty-four-percent of soybeans have emerged and 82-percent of the beans are rated good to excellent.
