A couple of billion in USA Dollars of Damage in Iowa is what is being reported...those down stream have not got the flood yet completely....but the worries of such are not as bad, BECAUSE the levees broke upstream, therefore those in downstream states will not have as much of a flood.

Compare this to over 100 billion in damage to new orleans when Katrina hit and their levees broke....

Not certain if the calculation of all the crops on the flooded farmland that are destroyed is in that 2 billion figure for Iowa, it could be they were only talking about homes and businesses destroyed?

Whatever it is, expect any grain crop world wide to rise in price....Iowa is the heartland for corn and soybean and wheat too I think, among other grains that makes your beer...like hops.... Food prices will be going up....count on it! Even sugary things like candybars have Corn syryp in them....and people fry things in Corn oil, and cattle and chickens feed on corn byproducts or other grains...
