Summary
Western Kansas farmers are reeling after catastrophic storms—hail the size of baseballs and winds nearing 100 mph—wiped out crops already struggling under drought.

The USDA urges quick damage reporting and caution before replanting. Resilience, grit, and support systems are all that stand between survival and collapse in this brutal agricultural landscape.
