"Missouri levee breaks as flooding continues"
"KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - The Mississippi River burst through an earthen levee on Friday, inundating a small Missouri town as more heavy rains fell and adding to the U.S. Midwest's multibillion-dollar flood disaster that is fueling fears of global food price inflation.
The levee break, the 36th in the last two weeks, sent a torrent of muddy water into Winfield, a town of about 800 north of St. Louis, where officials said about 100 homes and 1,300 acres of crop land would be submerged.
Heavy rains again were reported in parts of the region on Friday and forecasters warned more flooding was likely because the sodden ground can absorb little more.... Towns like Winfield and hundreds of thousands of other acres [are] now submerged....
Heavy rains this month have caused more than $6 billion in crop damage in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Nebraska, a key growing region in the world's biggest grain and feed exporter, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
