The White River remained above flood stage from late March through mid April. Even though rainfall was pretty close to normal in April, flooding continued from March because the moist ground was primed for more flooding. The main effect of the flooding was to delay the planting of crops in low-lying agricultural land near the river. Corn planting is normally done by mid May.
