A storm packing hurricane-force winds tore across the U.S. Midwest, causing widespread property damage in cities and rural towns and leaving more than half a million homes and businesses without power
The storm compounded troubles for a U.S. farm economy already battered by extreme weather, the U.S.-China trade war and most recently, the disruption caused to labor and consumption by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, global commodities trader Cargill Inc’s oilseed processing facilities have no power and are shuttered, the company told Reuters late Monday. “This corridor of wind went through and flattened corn and crops,” said Andrew Ansorge, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Des Moines. “We’re still trying to get all the information in.”
