Extractions: he Great Flood of '03 will be remembered for the crop devastation caused by the flooding of the Wabash River and many of its tributaries. As the flood waters recede, the totality of crop death is immediately evident in those areas where crops were totally submerged for a period of days. Click on images for larger popup versions. Less obvious is the damage to plants on the higher elevations within the flood plain that were only partially submerged, particularly those fields where pollination was in progress or that were in the early grain filling period following pollination. These plants withstood the onslaught of flood waters that rose to heights above the ear but quickly receded with little to no major structural damage to the plants. Unfortunately, these survivors along the fringes of the major flooding may have won the battle, but may lose the war because of the potential for the development of bacterial ear rot as a consequence of the exposure of the immature ears to the muddy flood waters.
