watch EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT THE WEATHER ; NOW SOME ARE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT By Peg Zenk No one expected nine feet of water to fill the office, much less for 48-foot-diameter grain bins to split and tip when the Cedar River spilled over its banks and into Cedar Falls, Iowa. But that’s what the staff at East Central Iowa Cooperative dealt with in June 2008, when devastating flood waters soaked much of the eastern part of the state. “We were told that when the river crested, we could expect as much as a foot of water in the lower areas where our office was located, about 300 yards from the river. So we moved everything from the office up to our feed warehouse,” recalls Brad Stewart, grain division manager. > > > Your CHS Connection 7
