DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa's agriculture secretary says a difficult start to crops' growing season will make the next few weeks of weather even more important.
Northey says crops have been undergoing rapid growth over the last few weeks, and that good weather has been welcome. But, he says, another batch of summer storms could hurt crops that have already been battered by record rain fall and flooding.
Northey says that sever storms continue to cause isolated damage and that good weather will be important as the growing season continues.
Northey made his comments on Monday, in response to the weekly U.S. Department of Agriculture report on Iowa crops and weather.

Crops need good weather to grow? No wonder this guy's the Ag Secretary! And who says voters can be easily mislead?! Almost like if you sorta hint that crops are still in danger, the prices stay high. Hey, wait a minute...

Wow!! What an understatement. And, we didn't know this how?? Only someone on the left coast, and the inner cities might have a problem with this concept.
