Spotty showers Thursday afternoon brought relief to parched areas of Eastern Iowa, with Cedar Rapids reporting 0.29 to 1.5 inches. Farmers like Lloyd Taube near Marion saw minor gains, while Dale Stoneking west of Mount Vernon welcomed rain that lifted drying beans. The Agriculture Department notes most soil remains too dry and several towns saw little rainfall despite pockets of moisture in Iowa City Independence and Washington.
