Flooded fields hit Washington County crop losses estimated
High water across Washington County caused extensive flooding with 7000 to 7500 acres of corn and soybeans underwater, prompting officials to estimate heavy crop losses while residents recall unprecedented river levels. The report also notes library rentals, alumni events, community charity, business transfers, local elections, church speakers, street work, Welsh festival plans, and a bridge contract won by the Iowa Bridge Company for 1826 dollars.
