Rain Floods McHenry County Corn and Soy Crops
Rain over the weekend of June 10 to 12 drenched McHenry County fields with five inches or more, submerging at least 1 000 acres of corn and soybeans. Soil loss reached about 100 000 tons, erosion damaged many plots, and replanting of corn and soybeans is expected with deadlines around June 15 to June 25 to avoid soft corn. Soybeans provide better odds for replanting, with Haro and Chippewa varieties cited for late June to early July planting.
