In 2016 the American soybean crop was valued at $40.94 billion. Soybeans were 31 percent of the annual crop of the USA. Forty-seven percent of the total yield, 2.03 billion bushels. That is according to the American Soybean Association (click here).

Soybeans are planted in May and early June for harvest in late September and October. While the flood waters are expected to recede by May that doesn't mean the land will be in the condition it needs to be in order to plant. 

That pretty much holds true for corn as well. These Midwest farmers are in trouble and for those that own their farms and have had them handed down over generations, they could lose everything.

When is Congress going to address the climate crisis? It seems to me it may be too late. The land is not only going to be saturated with water but, also oil and chemicals that have been leaked out of any type of containment facilities.
