# Storms, flooding, hail test U.S. corn and soybean farmers

> Severe storms brought wind, heavy rain and hail to Iowa, Illinois and Indiana in June, leaving some cornfields leaning or root-lodged. Extension agronomists say many leaning fields should recover with minimal yield loss, though greensnapped plants are total losses. Southern Indiana faces flooding and yellowing corn.

## Why it matters

Most storm damage appears limited, so the effect on feed grain supply is modest, though localized losses in flooded and hail-hit areas add some upside risk to corn prices.
