Flood sacks FADAMA rice farms in Ondo
Over 100 hectares of rice farms belonging to FADAMA farmers have been swept away by severe flooding at Asolo-Uso in Owo local government area of Ondo State.
The farmers in Ogbese under the auspices of Federated FADAMA Farmers Association have cried out for help as the water continued to increase in volume several hours after the rain had stopped.According to one of the farmers, Olu Labiran, the last flooding experienced on the farms that was not as severe as the current one brought strange weeds seeds to the farms which posed serious challenges engaging extra labour to weed the farms manually.
“The Ogbese River has filled up and spilled over its bank and flowed to our farm so much that it covered our rice farms.“By the time the water drains, the pebbles watched off from the racks of the river would cover the farms and this would require extra labour and extra cost.
