## Resource

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. Fields are underwater, roads washed out, and recovery is impossible without insurance and government help. Farmers like Jordan Reid face near-total losses, with replanting a risky gamble. 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.
