Midwest Flooding Threatens Planting Season For Many Farmers

GARDNER, ILLINOIS - MAY 29: Geese feed in a rain-soaked farm field on May 29, 2019 near Gardner, Illinois. Near-record rainfall in Illinois has caused farmers to delay their Spring corn planting. According to the USDA as of May 26 only 35 percent of the state’s corn crop had been planted. By the same date in 2018 farmers in the state had 99 percent of the crop in the ground. As the deadline for planting nears many farmers may be forced to leave their fields fallow. Illinois ranks number two behind Iowa in U.S. corn production. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
