USA-WEATHER/PLANTING (PIX) (TV) Illinois farmers give up on planting after floods, throw party instead
Rather than sitting around wishing his fields would dry up so he could plant corn, Illinois farmer James McCune decided to throw a party.

So trying to forget the floods and the US-China trade war, he put out some fried chicken and beer and set out to enjoy the company of his fellow farmers, forgetting for a moment what has been one of the worst years on the U.S. farm belt in memory. 16 Jun 07:00 ET / 11:00 GMT
