Next years crops not growing due to floods?
Q. When a flood occurs and floods fields where crops grow, why can't next years crops grow because of the flood? Thanks.
Asked by Emily. - Tue Oct 7 12:04:32 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Your question is very situational. Is the crop re-sown the following year? Has the geology allowed for adequate drainage of farm area before replanting? Has residual toxants been left within the soil from the flooding event? Does the farm rely on seeds from past crop to plant the following season? These are questions which may place blame on the flooding event.
