Impact & Risks

Farmers in the Tri-State area are at risk of significant crop losses due to prolonged flooding. Corn and soybean yields are particularly vulnerable, with measurable losses occurring after just one day of standing water. The research highlights the importance of understanding crop susceptibility at different growth stages, as well as the potential for long-term financial impacts on farmers. These findings could influence decisions on crop insurance and the selection of flood-resistant crop varieties.
