#Vermont: State officials inspect flooded farms as growers grapple with #CropLoss

"ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont lost nearly 10,000 acres of #crops-- with likely more to be discovered-- after the flooding two weeks ago. State leaders say farmers also reported losing poultry in the flooding. But farmers across the state are now grappling with the overall impact the flood had on their bottom line and what it could mean for the fall harvest.

"Monday, state and federal leaders toured the damage. 'A lot of stuff is injured,' said Paul Mazza of Paul Mazza Fruit and Vegetable.

"Mazza owns hundreds of acres of fields throughout Essex, Jericho, Williston and Colchester. After the flooding earlier this month, he says he lost upward of two-thirds of his crops including apples, berries, corn and other vegetables.

"'If you stick your head underwater and you don’t get air, you’re going to have brain damage and you’re never coming back. That’s basically what happened to a lot of the plants. They are injured too bad to be healthy,' he said."
