30 SEPTEMBER 2020 - WOODWARD, IOWA: on Lambert family land in Woodward. Lambert said it would take near twice as long to combine this year's corn compared to last year's because of damage to fields caused by the derecho wind storm that roared through central Iowa in August. The derecho wind storm damaged more than 550,000 acres of Iowa cornfields. In addition to derecho damage, Iowa farmers are wrestling with drought related damage. A persistent drought in central Iowa has stunted corn plants and reduced yields. Because of the unusually dry weather, this year's harvest is three weeks ahead of last year's and nine days ahead of average. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
