Hail Damage

Too many pictures of damage to post all at once. This is one of the corners in town that was really pretty with lots of flowers - marigolds on the edge, daylillies and sedum. I think most flowers in town are gone/stripped and also gardens.

This is the corn that's ours on 3 sides of our house. The hail took the leaves off but the stalks were left standing - so far. They're not sure if the stalks will stay standing. Bill says that even the oldest farmers here have never seen this type of damage. The hail damaged about a 2 mile wide area from Plover to southwest of Gilmore City for those that know the area.


This is what's left of soybeans that are north of town (not ours). We had hail insurance but it doesn't cover as much as the crop would have made. We have an amount that covers expenses so that means no profit. Bill says we have about 375 acres damaged. We're actually fortunate that more of ours was not hit bad.
