Extension specialists from Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have developed fact sheets on recovering cropland that was flooded for an extended period in 2011.  The fact sheets listed below, as well as additional information on flood recovery for homes, businesses, and crop and livestock producers, are available from UNL at flood.unl.edu and from ISU at  http://www.extension.iastate.edu/topic/recovering-disasters.

• Repairing Flood-Damaged Farm Fields
• Flooded Soil Syndrome
• Cover Crops for Soil Health
• Flood-Damaged Crops, Crop Insurance Payments, and Lease Contracts

These support the four topics being addressed in the Sept. 12 Webinar on Flood Recovery for Cropland.
