With all the winter flooding affecting the middle part of our country, I thought tGOAT ot board should have a thread dedicated to this ongoing crisis and it’s expansion during spring rains.

With our massive snowpack this year, the Arkansas River is about to be big water.

I know a lot is going on in the news but what we all are gonna be feeling this disaster very shortly at the grocery store. I really can’t fathom what middle America is gonna be looking like come the first of May.

Along the Niobrara in Keya Paha County, Ann and Billy Kepler found 155 acres of their hay meadows covered with ice — including a single, 75-acre parcel buried beneath a wall of ice that's 20 feet tall, 200 yards wide and nearly a mile long.

I cross the Mighty Mo on my drive to work... it’s flooded all across the bottoms. Those bottom lands are where a shite load of corn and soybeans are planted in MO.

I drove down through the Delta from Greenville to Vicksburg last weekend. The flooding around the Yazoo already looked pretty intense.

Good news is the Ms river is expected to fall rapidly over the next 10 days and they’re gonna open the steel bayou structure April 1st which will relieve flooding in the Ms Delta.
Another big rain system could mess that up though

Midwest Apocalypse: Satellite Data Show "At Least 1 Million Acres Of US Farmland" Devastated By Floods
quote:
Between March 8th and March 21st, almost 1.1 million acres of cropland and over 84,000 acres of pastureland were covered by water for at least a week. With more rain on the way, it is essentially going to be impossible for most of those acres to be usable this year.
quote:
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. According to the NOAA, we are entering an “unprecedented flood season” that could potentially “impact an even bigger area of cropland”… Spring floods could yet impact an even bigger area of cropland. The U.S. government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has warned of what could be an “unprecedented flood season” as it forecasts heavy spring rains. Rivers may swell further as a deep snow pack in northern growing areas melts.

Sounds like a good year to put a garden in.

I can attest to the fact that the farmland right up to the dike has been more or less constantly under water here for a couple of months. Usually crops would have been planted in that stretch well before now.
Its just an example of a much larger problem but along with looming trade wars farmers are going to take it on the chin this year.

Why not just put a zero where the "K" is? It's the same number of digits.

Bumping this thread, the late planting dates from this past spring are going to put the crops in peril if a early frost hits the middle of the country.
