I-29 to Omaha is apparently closed from flooding
https://www.kq2.com/content/news/Flo...507212831.html
Flooding has forced more evacuations in northwest Missouri. The Atchison County Commission issued an immediate mandatory evacuation Friday for areas west of I-29 due to the threat flooding. The Missouri River at Brownville, NE is approaching record levels. As of Friday afternoon, the river is at 44.49 feet just shy of the record crest of 44.8 set in 2011. The river is expected to crest at 48 feet on Sunday. Near-record level flooding has also forced the shutdown of I-29 at the Missouri/Iowa border. Interstate 29 at Rock Port exit 110 is closed due to flooding in Iowa. The Missouri Department of Transportation said drivers wanting to use I-29 northbound should use I-35 and then I-80 into Iowa. |

Cattle loss numbers are starting to show up, and it's pretty ugly. That's saying nothing for the farm land that's been lost. In some places, the soil has been completely displaced and might not be farmable in the future. For many, this entire year is going to be a complete loss. Insurance claims are going to be plentiful.

Disaster relief but most cow guys I know don’t have any insurance. There is nothing out there for erosion. |

There are going to be a lot of family farms/ranches that may not make it. Lots of cows and calves lost in the flooding which may not be felt on a consumer level 'til later. Nebraska provides a lot of livestock and grain crops.
2nd in the US for cattle and calves 6th for Hogs and pigs 3rd in Corn for grain 6th in Soybeans for beans 5th in Forage-land used for all hay and haylage, grass silage, and greenchop 10th in Wheat for grain, all 7th in Winter wheat for grain (USDA figures) |

Lots of help with clean up and supplies coming from other states, Nebraska helped a lot with the wildfires in TX, OK and KS a few years ago and they in turn will do what they can to help NE. |

Some very large Nebraska feeders are rumored to have had enough and are ready to dump unfinished cattle in order to just wash their hands of them. If the numbers are as big as rumored to be, it will be enough to cause a short term crash. There are also signs some very big pockets are locking in and preparing to ride out some serious margin calls in the process. Big margin calls on top of what's going on around them will destroy any of the little guys who aren't liquid enough to ride out a big swing. On top of that, if they crash the beef market anyone trying to liquidate the rest of their herd in order to cash flow other losses will be at the mercy of the scalpers. A lot of people are just going to be screwed no matter what they do. |
