Ran into a woman yesterday who says she had 800lbs of spuds rot in 
the ground this season. 10 inches of rain in the past 10 days. Our 
blue spuds seem to be at about 30% loss, but the rest seem 'ok.' 
We've got standing water where I've never seen it before, though. 
None on crops...yet... (had to take the pump out of the creek, 
though! Of course, we don't need it there.... -Allan in WV
