08/01/15 : Heavy Summer Rains Flooding Farms and Killing Crops

A summer full of heavy rainfall is expected to lead to big corn and soybean crop losses for farmers in several Midwestern states.

Those deluges drowned crops and left many surviving plants stunted or unhealthy. AP correspondent Nicki Mayo reports.
