I was reading this article on another site.  And based what I have been hearing this flood is going to damage alot of crops.  Do you think this event will have a noticeable effect food prices? (I imagine corn, wheat, slaughter houses etc.will all be affected.) Nationally? regionally?

It will probably raise the price of ethanol used in fuel a few cents.  Otherwise it will not have any effects.
