Iowa came off of a very wet May, only to be followed by a near record wet June.  Some of the flooding along Iowa's rivers continued from May into June.  Heavy rains fell on a nearly daily basis somewhere in Iowa through the first half of the month.  The first series of heavy rain events caused flooding over a large part of Iowa.  Some of the flooding began as flash flooding, then transitioned into general river flooding.  A considerable amount of agricultural land was put under water due to the extensive river flooding.  This began what would be a catastrophic loss in agricultural production.
