Chris Bennett: NZ public backs flood-hit farmers >More in Chris Bennett © Johnny Houston The clean-up is well under way after the “Canterbury floods” hit a few weeks ago where I farm in New Zealand. In what has been described as a “one-in-100-years event”, much of this area felt the force of more than 200mm of rain in a single weekend. Rivers burst their banks and carved new routes through large areas of farmland, causing considerable damage to crops and farm infrastructure. Masses of shingle and silt were deposited all over the land, fences were destroyed and, in some cases, cattle were swept away and drowned.
