A west central Illinois corn and soybean farmer feels fortunate after assessing damage from a small tornado that passed through their farm over the weekend.
David Wessel who farms near Chandlerville tells Brownfield thankfully everyone is safe and there was no structural damage, but it did destroy a 150-yard stretch of a corn field.
“Where it hit, it’s pretty much 100% losses. It snapped the corn off about a foot above the ground with very few stalks left standing there.
