SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Area farmers are dealing with damage to their crops and fences after all the rain that fell in June. The Sioux City Journal reports farmers in northwest Iowa, southeast South Dakota and northeast Nebraska face significant work ahead because of the flooding on the Big Sioux, Rock and other rivers.

The flooding and heavy rains could also have a lasting effect on their crops because fertilizer may have been washed away and standing water in fields could have killed some plants. Janna Whitlock says her pasture in Union County, S.D., was underwater, and three lawn mowers, a snow blower and some other equipment in a shed was damaged.

Farmer Jack Kruse says he knows he faces weeks of fence repair ahead.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Pay very close attention to weather watches and warnings this afternoon! Forecasters warn that strong storms and possibly tornadoes are possible in Iowa and eastern Nebraska this (Sunday) evening. The National Weather Service says there is a moderate risk of severe weather in Iowa and eastern Nebraska. There is a 60% chance of a Watch (Tornado or Severe Thunderstorm) being issued by 4-p.m. Central Time for the two states.

Forecasters say the main threat tonight will be strong winds, but large hail and even tornadoes are possible. Plus, some areas may receive heavy rain, so flash flooding may be a concern.
