Iowa Farm Damage

[former farmer]

The Millenial Farm, who has a Youtube channel, travels south into Iowa to see the severe damage to crops and farm buildings.

Probably one of the best farm video reports I have seen.

Bloody crikey. That's some damage.

 

[Badshot]

Good report.
We had a dorecho go through several years ago.
Bloody scary.

Trump signed emergency aid last Saturday & visited on Monday. The representatives said 13.5 million ac of corn badly damaged & 40% of storage gone.
Trump said we will get you back better than before.

Cant see UK farmers getting any help from Westminster can you ?

Trump will be releived & can promise the world because he will be gone in 70 days.

He was struggling to sell that maize.

I can't understand why feed grain has not increased in price

would he have been as quick with aid if it hadn't been election year?

Moreso as he wouldn't be the one footing the bill. Very much now the default letter from every Secretary to the Treasury!

 

[Woldgrain Storage]

13.5 million ac of corn badly damaged & 40% of storage gone.

Reports suggested approximately 50 million bushels of storage have been wiped out.

 

[teslacoils]

What's that? 12m ton?

 

[Honest john]

What's that? 12m ton?

Two 2020 UK harvests worth of storage.

 

[Woldgrain Storage]

What's that? 12m ton?

I think you're out by a decimal place.

1.2 mmt "corn" or 1.4mmt of wheat

Either way its a fair chunk of physical storage, but still a drop in the ocean.

 

[teslacoils]

Doesn't sound a lot given the area of corn.

Puts into some sort of perspective with what we are moaning about at the moment

Good point.

Just emailed my local MP not to bother with any possible Trump-style compensation for Devon and Cornwall.
