Tall Corn Causing Annual Visibility Issue At Rural Intersections

Northwest Iowa — It’s the lifeblood of northwest Iowa — but tall corn can cause some big problems at rural intersections.

Iowa State Patrol Safety Officer Kevin Krull says it happens every year about this time.

Krull says you need to always be alert when approaching an intersection, but especially if your view is blocked by corn or other tall crops.

Troopers tell us the tall corn contributes to several crashes each year at this time. They advise us to slow down, drive defensively, and expect the unexpected.
