Dust is the consistency of much of Bowers' farmland, exposed to the wind now that the stalks are cut down. Some of the only stalks left standing are for crop insurance adjusters to inspect.
Alan Bowers and his wife Lori are hoping for a modest insurance settlement just so that they can make ends meet until next year.
"We have no boss, and nobody to help us, and it's tough, you have to work together you have to work with a husband a wife and family and together try to work through it," Lori Bowers explained.
The remaining land on the Bowers farm is filled with soybeans, and unless a significant amount of rain falls in the next several weeks, the outlook for production is just as grim.
Lori's husband Alan says if next year is anything like the present, he isn't sure the farm that has been in his family for four generations can survive.
"It will be five times as challenging as what it is this year," Alan Bowers noted.
Bowers adds that the only way to prevent losing his farm is to have more of what he and his wife have been praying for this year, rain.
