| jd7520 - 6/27/2024 08:06 So to help us understand the numbers better, give us an actual under water number. If you don't want to give that number at least get us in the ballpark of total acres you are referring your percentages from.
We farm a couple hundred acres in the river bottom. Due to the lay of the land, the flood plain is actually fairly narrow right by us, it gets substantially wider a little further south.
At its peak the water was probably ~3000' wide by us. Lots of places that the river flooding was way over a mile wide.
Keep in mind this is just one local, normally small, river I'm talking about. The areas affected by flood water covers a huge chunk of NW Iowa.

Any accuracy or truth to the news this morning with the flooding?
