kind of agree.....
It might have actually mitigated some of the coming "melting thaw" flooding news that was coming next month....... although that will still happen. Puts a real burdon on the state budget of Nebraska.... there is a lot of long term structural damage to repair. Roads -culverts, dams, local dirt roads gone, irrigation systems that took in a lot of silt and trash pater, -- hay and feed loss -- lot of animal structures too damaged to use --
They are a lot like these cattle ranches in southern Ks that burned out the last few years from Meade to Medicine Lodge... The grass came back great and the fences after 2 years look like a miracle, but it was a long term fatal blow financially for many... more ranch grass in that area has changed hands than I can remember in a lifetime.
This deal in the platte valley Nebraska looks like a similar deal to me..... the financial blow will take a long time even if most crop acres eventually dry out enough to make a crop.
The killer overhead costs and the dryout delays may make some acre choices get readjusted. Corn needs to be in pretty soon... 3-4 weeks to get seed in ground.... 4 weeks won't even get the roads open.
