I drive over three states kind of regularly, eastern Ia, most of WI, and northern IL. I would not say we have a disaster. There are places that have very good crops and others that are hurting for water. You may be in a place with crops that are hurt but others have excellent crops.
The rains, so far , have been scattered and spotty. You can go four miles from my house and they got 3 inches of rain last week and I got 2 tenths. I have friends in the Dakotas and they say they have very good crops in the dry land areas. They have had more than normal rains.
