Here are a few more photos of the floods that have swamped farmland in central Illinois. This standing water was the result of many inches of rain the state has seen since last week - Darrell Smith, Farm Journal Conservation and Machinery Editor


It's easy to see how the lay of the land changes just west of the Iowa River along U.S. Highway 20. That's Owasa, Iowa, on the right side of the picture -- right where Highway 20 bends to the north before straightening out to head west again. You can see the start of serious ponding in the center of the picture.


This is in Webster Co., Iowa, right along I-35. If you look closely at the top of the picture, you can see the white "tooth picks" -- the windfarm just east of Webster City. I think the small town near the center is Blairsburg, Iowa.
