Saunders County field hard hit by hail June 19. An area from south of Prague to Ithaca was damaged to varying degrees. In other areas of the state, hail with strong almost horizontal winds may have left some leaves but injured the sides of cornstalks. Learn about considerations for hail- and storm-damaged crops in this week's CropWatch. (Photo by Keith Glewen)
