George R. Wilson, associate county agent, said Butler County escaped major crop losses from Sunday's storm. The wheat harvest is delayed by wet fields but can resume with a day of drying weather. Prolonged rain could damage heads and complicate harvest. Corn cultivation faces weed growth and delays as moisture lingers, with dry weather needed to finish cultivation.
