Hart comments on farm flood damage

Chad Hart, associate professor, was interviewed for a April 3 Des Moines Register story, "Farm losses drive Iowa's flood damage to $2 billion, Farm Bureau economists estimate."

"It won't take as big as a rain event to create problems with the loss of flood protection," he said. Farmers with flooded fields would need ideal drying conditions to clean debris from fields and put in a crop this spring, Hart said. "It's mostly a lost cause."
