Natural disasters destroy farmer’s precious crops.
Heaving spring rains in 2008 led rivers to overflow, flooding the fields and ruining crops in Illinois. The Hurst Family Farm and Greenery in Northern Missouri is still successful despite mother nature’s setbacks. An Agricultural Weather Information Service (AWIS) tracks weather conditions—measuring moisture and how temperature will impact crop and livestock.
