Agricultural house in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, where typhoon No. 19 flooded the area caused significant damage to vegetables, and work to carry out a large amount of rice straw that had flowed with water began.
Noboru Hatayama, a farmer in Kashimadai Osakokamishida, Osaki City, cultivated green onions and sunny lettuce in two farmhouses located between two rivers.
The house door was closed in preparation for Typhoon No. 19, but the soil under the house was greatly swept away by the flooded river water, water and a large amount of rice straw flowed in, and vegetables were washed away. It means that it will be nearly 10,000 yen.
The rice straw is now dry and can be transported, and about 40 local JA staff have started to work together to collect rice straw and carry it away.
After removing the rice straw, if there is no problem with the soil condition, the aim is to resume planting this month at the earliest.
Mr. Hatayama said, “I was also damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, but I would like to move forward before giving up as a natural disaster.
