    About a quarter of my carrots and other vegetables rotted from about 4-5cm down because the water had nowhere to go. Several other root vegetables were damaged or lost. My peppers, which is where my farm income largely comes from, are suffering horribly. I can’t take my tractor into the field. Hell, I can’t even walk in right now without sinking to the top of my boots and won’t be able to anytime soon as the forecast is all just still rain.

      Shit. Chiba?

      I’m in the mountains so the rain always has somewhere to go.

        Between Sendai and Fukushima near the coast. I think my fields used to be 田んぼ rice fields in the past so have clay after about 50cm.
