With millions of acres of Iowa cropland flattened by last month’s derecho, a webinar is planned for tomorrow targeting Iowa farmers who need to address the challenges of managing those destroyed crops. While officials initially estimated 14-million acres were impacted, field agronomist Meaghan Anderson, at the Iowa State University Extension, says there’s no hope for the corn that was knocked down being able to right itself — and the majority of the ears are worthless.

The webinar will run from 1 to 2 P-M. It’s free but registration is required at www.aep.iastate.edu/corn.
