U.S. lawmakers and state officials from Iowa said on Tuesday that much of the state’s corn crop will not be harvested following a fierce windstorm last week, as President Donald Trump visited to review the damage.
Reuters reports last week's derecho destroyed or seriously damaged more than 57 million bushels of commercial grain storage capacity in Iowa and a similar amount on farms, according to the state’s agriculture department.
The cost to remove, replace or repair damaged grain bins will top $300 million, according to Iowa’s agriculture department.
