DES MOINES, Iowa Farmers across a wide swath of Iowa are dealing with the heartbreaking aftermath of a rare wind storm that turned what was looking like a record corn crop into deep losses for many. The Iowa Corn Growers Association said it is too soon to accurately describe how much of this year's crop was lost. Western Iowa has been declared an extreme drought zone and corn plants there were already weakened due to a lack of moisture. The corn stalks had grown to full height and were in the final stages of producing ears and filling them out with kernels. Iowa Corn Growers Association CEO Craig Floss surveyed the storm damage on his fathers farm east of Des Moines on Wednesday.
