Rain drowns out harvest as farmers prepare for significant wind gusts today

Harvest is at a standstill for Central Nebraska farmer Clay Govier.

“I’m pretty sure it was right around 6 inches total.  Some of it came really, really fast yesterday.”

A storm system moved across Nebraska yesterday dropping anywhere form 3-7 inches of rain, and Govier says the forecast is calling for 60 mile per hour wind gusts todays. “I would anticipate that the wind will be out of the north-northwest like it usually is.
