The Keystone Agricultural Producers took reporters to see some of the flooded fields north of Souris July 10.

Souris-area farmer Walter Finlay estimates flooding will cut his gross income this year by $500,000. Out of 2,900 acres Finlay only seeded 850 this spring because of excessive moisture. He expects only 300 of those acres to produce a normal crop.
