The AgCenter Communications team is traveling to give you updates on Hurricane Laura damage across Louisiana. Sugarcane on Ricky Gonsoulin's farm near New Iberia has been blown sideways and he's running a water pump to get water off his fields. #HurricaneLaura #lsuagcenter pic.twitter.com/iAmWsivp9f

#rice for the most part stood up to the storm here in the county. We do have a few fields that did not fair so well, like the one pictured here. @JHardke @AgWriterArk pic.twitter.com/A0aimOfdRb

Early AR rice damage is luckily minimal. Appears worse in south and lessens as you move north. The closer to harvest the worse the impact. Many levees lodged in areas. Spots & streaks down, some fields flat. Certain cultivars worse. Lodging will worsen with time/rain. #ARrice pic.twitter.com/RhrxEJWZSc

Initial look seems to be soybean took a bigger hit more field wide damage. Rice damage seems to be isolated to areas of heavy weed pressure and corners of fields. Corn damage has been sporadic some fields appear perfectly fine and some have minor to moderate damage. More to come. pic.twitter.com/f0qs2mmvEM

Making a north run to look at damage to crops from Laura. So far, tall soybean plants leaning. Not much damage to corn or rice. OVT at Newport is still standing. @Ark_VT @AginArk @UAEX_edu @AgWriterArk pic.twitter.com/JF2emwnCmb

Arkansas took a beating yesterday & last night from Laura. We had a nice crop going, so fingers crossed that actual damage was minimal. Like in boxing sometimes the follow up punches do more damage than the big hit. Just shows the faith, patience & resiliency required in farming. pic.twitter.com/DaP9laRtyr

Hurricane #Laura will go down in history as the most powerful storm to ever make landfall in Southwest Louisiana.

We took a beating from Laura but everyone is ok. Experiencing an EF2 tornado and category 2 hurricane, when it hit us, is enough fun for this year. Laura decided to finish off foundation seed and lodge pretty much any crop that was standing. pic.twitter.com/ZsLwI10wZ5

Corn damage is minor most snap is above the the ear. Soybeans have a lean to them some that were 4’ tall are around 2’ tall now. Rice has hot spots some fields showing damage. Cotton is also leaning but no major boll shed. Overall minor damage. Rain will be biggest delay so far. pic.twitter.com/fEyvc3f5G8

Already difficult to find a rice field near harvest that doesn’t have some lodging started in Arkansas and Prairie Counties. Rice on most levees laid down. Also tornadoes popping up. #HurricaneLaura2020 #ARrice #ARwx pic.twitter.com/Y58NKx6tZs

Perishable food that has sat in a refrigerator without power for more than two hours should be examined, and likely thrown away.
