A central Iowa farmer anticipates a challenging harvest season, thanks to the derecho wind event.
Seth Gerlach, who farms near Nevada, says they were hit hard.
“We got a pretty good lick by the derecho. It came in and laid a pretty good chunk of our corn down,” Gerlach says. “It didn’t snap much off—it’s all starting to come back up—so the insurance says we’re going to have to go out there and pick it all off.”
Gerlach says they’ve ordered reels for their corn heads. But he says it could be a long fall.
