A grower of corn and soybeans, his crops had taken a substantial hit from the hail storm that rolled through Hardin and Grundy counties on Sunday, Aug. 9, and the extent of the damage was still being calculated. He quickly ticked off a list of questions that attendees intended on asking at the meeting. “Should we try to put in an alternate crop, a cover crop for feed for our cattle? Is what’s out there worth saving, or should we be looking to chop silage? If we do leave it for harvest, will the quality and yield justify it?” Standing under an overcast sky, next to a well-dam- aged bean field and flanked by pickups, attendees listened to pre- sentations by George Cummins, ISU Extension Agronomist; Dale Thoreson, ISU Extension Livestock Specialist; and Sandy Hover- sten, Grundy County FSA Executive Director, who tried their best to begin answering those questions, even if the answers weren’t immediately clear. Armed with handouts and examples of damaged crops pulled straight from the fields, Cummins and Thoreson took turns educating attendees on a wide range of topics, including suit- able moisture levels m crops intended for silage, assessing damage in their fields, the effects of hail-related defoliation on regrowth Iowa Crop Progress and Conditions Report and whether it was appropriate to continue spraying for insects like August 12-18, 2019 average temperature was 70.9 degrees, 1.3 degrees below normal. aphids.
