2009

On a hot summer afternoon at the end of July in 2009 we recieved the worst storm that had happened in the area for years.  That day our entire crop of corn, sorghum,sunflowers, alfalfa, soybeans were destroyed by hail.  The sugarbeets came out of it and continued to grow, which allowed us to harvest and compile the data for the studies.  The wheat had been harvested earlier that month so we were able to get our data on the wheat studies.  Nothing could have prepared any of us for the visual the next day and the days that followed.  We ultimately had to chop everything down to avoid further damage to the soil.
