The staff of the Great Plains Center express their great concern for the physical, emotional, and financial well-being of the farm families affected by the current Midwest flooding.

In 1993, the "Farm Flood Response Workshop: Implications for Agricultural Safety and Health" was held at the University of Iowa in response to the immense flooding that occured that spring.
