In my estimation, about half of our intended crop acres have been planted due to our overly wet conditions. And, if that is not enough bad news, now, many of the acres that have been planted are under water. So the most popular question being asked now is how long crops will survive under water.
For corn, wheat, and barley, here is a great source of information from North Dakota Extension http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/procrop/env/fldwhb07.htm.
And here (http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/flood/farm-ranch/salvaging-crops-after-flooding) is a good source of information regarding forage and hay crops, the effects of flooding on them, and recovery.
