Photos: Powerful scenes of destruction from Midwest after bomb cyclonePhotos: Powerful scenes of destruction from Midwest after bomb cyclone
Mother Nature isn't playing nice in the Midwest this month and ranchers and rural agriculture communities are suffering.

Already have an account?
How much is too much? If you’re a rancher or farmer, there’s no real answer to that question. You take what Mother Nature gives and you adapt.
But if ranchers and farmers are anything, they are tough. And those affected by the recent “bomb cyclone” will rebound. It will take time. And it will take help. But that’s another characteristic that makes ranchers and farmers special. When a neighbor needs help, we step up.
BEEF has assembled a gallery of photos and videos that show the extent of the flooding in Nebraska. If you have additional photos or first-hand stories of the resilience of our ag community, please send them to [email protected]. While our hearts break as our fellow ranchers suffer, we do want to be the venue where you can share the heart-warming stories that make our industry strong.
Check back often, as we will update this gallery as more images become available. Relief efforts will be listed below. Our hearts and prayers go out to those who are suffering
