Flooding causes headache for farmers in Kansas

Near Halstead Wednesday, heavy rains and strong winds knocked over trees and flooded streets and fields. It was a downpour unlike anything farmer Rod Miller says he's seen in more than 20 years.  "Not this much rain in that short amount of time. I don't think anybody remembers getting that kind of water," Miller says.  Miller was out in the field working when the rain started falling Wednesday evening. He was forced to leave his tractor sitting in the field.  "Most guys keep running their combine until the rain starts falling," Miller says. "And it just hit hard and fast. We've never seen this kind of water around here."
