This year extensive flooding of America's prime agricultural lands has resulted in millions of dollars in lost crops. In addition to direct economic losses, farmers face post-flooding cleanup costs associated with removing sediment and debris and repairing erosion in their fields. At the briefing, "Farming after the Flood: Management Strategies and Costs", a corn and soybean producer and an extension educator will explore the personal, agricultural, and economic costs of extreme events such as flooding.
