Central Iowa farmer Denny Friest says harvesting 500 acres of derecho-damaged corn was a big challenge.
“It was tremendously slow going,” Friest says. “We couldn’t use the catch cart. We had to dump at one end and go back empty, so it just took a lot of time.”
About twice as long as it normally would, Friest says. But he is pleased they were able to salvage as much of the crop as they did.
