The swollen Mississippi River ran over the top of a levee near Meyer, Illinois, on Wednesday as floodwaters swallowed up more farmland and sent corn prices to a record high.

Estimates are that 5 million acres have been ruined and will not produce a crop this year. That has sent U.S. grain and livestock soaring, along with food price inflation worries.

Chicago Board of Trade corn prices, the world benchmark, hit a record high of $8.07 a bushel for the second time this week. Soybeans hover near record highs while cattle and hog futures prices also set record highs on the outlook for soaring feed costs and smaller herds.
Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated or forced from their homes, with the worst flooding striking Iowa. Evacuations have also affected parts of Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota.
Abuse nature and see what happens - let us all do what we are able to save ourselves only!
