South-Central Nebraska farmer Michael Bergen says he’s still cleaning up the mess from a July windstorm that devastated most of his corn crop. “Well, to be really honest, it’s been real hard,” Bergen says. “It’s been a challenging summer, physically a lot of clean up, mentally – trying to pick up the pieces and figure out where we’re going.”
The first-generation grower tells Brownfield crop insurance adjusters visited last week and determined 85 percent of his crop was affected.
