Officials estimate hundreds of farmers have suffered damage from the initial storm or the high winds, heavy rains and hail that have hit the area since.

The effects of a may tornado can still be seen in Matt Snoberger's fields.

"I had irrigation pipe lifted and tossed around the field and three pivots tipped over. A half of this field here was basically torn out of the ground," said Matt Snoberger, Aurora.

And even though he replanted, Snoberger predicts a 30 to 50 bushel loss in those areas.

"A couple years ago there would have been significant yield loss, probably 50 or 75 bushels an acre," Snoberger said.

"All of them are so thankful we've had the rains that we have had, even though we've had to put up with the high winds and the hail with it," said Kathryn Jennings, FSA Hamilton County executive director.

The Werts lost ten pivots in the tornado and only three are up and running.

"It's the unknown. It's the unknown on the crops. It's the waiting game of the amount of damage or what the yields are going to be on the crops," said Tamera Wert, Aurora.

But the tornado didn't just damage crops.

"When the storm had passed, we came up and we realized our shop building was gone and the garage attached to our house was gone," Wert said.

The Wert's insurance agent said because of structural damage the home could be a total loss, but they'll have to wait for estimates.

Nearly every farmer in Hamilton County will have to wait until harvest to know the storm's full effect.

"With the late planting of the corn, it's going to drag into harvest. I don't think this storm damage will be gone for at least a year or two," Snoberger said.

"It's not over and it's not going to be over," Jennings said.

Besides insurance claims and construction estimates, farmers are having to wait on another thing -- the Permanent Disaster Program for the 2008 farm bill, which law makers are still hashing out.
