Due to the heavy rain, inundation damage was confirmed in various places in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and on the other hand, some agricultural land was submerged in water.
In the field of Mr. Hiroshi Matsuo in Daizenjimachi, Kurume City, all the agricultural houses with an area of about 30 ares were submerged in water.
The salad vegetables I was cultivating were just before shipping, but I had to dispose of them all.
In addition, the sweet potato field, which is about 10 ares in size, was submerged up to the height of a person's chest.
We are worried about the extent of the damage in one month until the harvest time, but it is difficult to confirm because the ground is muddy and it is expected that it will rain again.
The northern part of Kyushu has been damaged by heavy rain every year, and Mr. Matsuo's field has been inundated four times in the last three years, including this time.
Mr. Matsuo said, "It was in a state before harvesting, but the flooding made it impossible to harvest. The water is so heavy that I can't walk and I can't clean it up."
