This wave (23) tropical depression brought torrential rain, "the sky is crying, the hearts of farmers are bleeding, the torrential rain brought by extreme weather cannot bear according to the current drainage system, and last night's efforts were still unable to compete with the sky." "dry your tears before you continue to do it!" On Facebook, many farmers lamented that the torrential rain destroyed the harvest and cheered each other up every other.

Torrential rains hit southern Taiwan, and the papaya Garden in Kaohsiung and the Wendan Garden in Tainan may cause serious water damage to the fruit. Yunlin Phase II peanuts were "wiped out", and farmers were worried about affecting the late yield. Farmers mocked that "there is money but no food, there is only water in the fields!" Coastal aquaculture fisheries have also been ravaged by torrential rain, and more than 90% of the fish ponds in the Chiku area of Tainan are "full of ponds," making fishermen sigh, "all the fish have swam away!" I don't know how to estimate the loss. "

Department of Agriculture and Food: only a few days after soaking in water did we know the situation of the disaster.

"if it rains, it will be flooded, but it depends on the speed at which it recedes." Weng Zhenfu points out that if it continues to rain and the fields cannot be drained, there will be a problem of soaking water, which will cause leafy vegetables to rot. "however, some of them are not immediate sexual harm, and the problem will only come out after a few days of soaking in the water, so it depends on the subsequent rain."

"at present, all the vegetable producing areas are in good condition." Weng explains that except for the main vegetable producing areas that are not affected by rainfall, Korean vegetables are grown in the mountains. Unlike typhoons, the vegetables will not be blown down, the mountains will not be flooded, the situation is OK, and the supply is stable. And Wimbledon rooms will do water baffles, earth embankments to prevent flooding, there will be less water problems.

How is the damage to other crops? Weng says that Pingtung is mainly a melon-and-fruit-producing area, such as vegetable melon, balsam pear, eggplant, and so on. Rain may knock out the flowers and prevent pollination, which will affect subsequent yields. "if there are no flowers, there will be no fruit."
