Area farm fields are feeling the weight of all this wet weather.
That means those with standing water in their fields have to consider their next move.
"When you get these saturated soils, you don't have near the root growth. And that could hurt us down the road depending on what kind of weather we get from here on out," said Michael Holst, a farmer from Stockton, Iowa.
Several recent showers have left his soybeans soaked.
"We're at that point where it's not helping anymore," said Holst.
After days of heavy rain several local fields are underwater. That’s leaving farmers to decide if they should replant or move on with what they have.
"Certainly you would have a reduced yield on anything planted at this time or later. But there would be a small window to replant some soybeans, but now it's got to dry out too," Holst explained.
A farm in nearby Donahue, Iowa has what looks like a little lake forming.
"You get enough of it, enough saturated soil, enough flooding, and it does. Eventually it will affect the supply," said Holst.
Luckily these flooded fields are only part of the picture.
"It’s a very small percentage of not only our area here, but across the country," Holst said.
Holst isn’t going to replant the soybeans he’s lost. Instead he holds out hope for a dry spell.
"We can't control the weather. So we've just got to do the best we can," said Holst.
Holst says most of the area corn is tall enough by now that any flooding will likely not damage the stalks near as much as the lower lying soybeans. But every day the corn sits in high water, there's a risk of disease or the roots being choked off.
