Farmers damaged by typhoon Resumption of raw milk shipments Secured circuit Miyagi Marumori-cho, October 21, 12:30
In Marumori Town, Miyagi Prefecture, where great damage was caused by a typhoon, roads were cut off due to landslides, etc., and large cars could not go to the area where dairy cows were raised, but the circuit was secured, 21 Shipment of raw milk has been resumed for the first time in a while.
The roads in the Hadeiwa and Maru areas of Marumori Town were severed by landslides, and cars that collected raw milk from cows could not be reached.
After that, because the road to turn around was secured, the tanker truck went around this area for the first time in 8 days on the 21st and collected raw milk.
About 10 farmers in the district milked their cows daily to keep them from getting sick, but so far they could not ship and had to discard most.
At the ranch of Toshiaki Ikeda (64) in the Sakai area, which breeds 39 dairy cows, part of the barn was crushed and food could not be secured enough. I'm a little relieved to finally be able to resume it, but the cattle barn is also severely damaged, and I'm more worried about what I can do in the future. "
