Farming neighbours count cost: 'Everywhere you looked was water'

Farming neighbours count cost: Everywhere you looked was water © RNZ / Cosmo Kentish-Barnes Farmers in Mid-Canterbury say it could take months and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean up the mess on their farms following last month s massive flooding. It s been an extremely challenging situation for neighbouring farmers Anne-Marie Allen and Chrissie Wright, who say they are still trying to get their heads around the scale of the damage. © Provided by Radio New Zealand Anne-Marie Allen assesses the damage Parts of Anne-Marie and her husband Chris s farm resemble a bombsite. Their six-hectare water storage pond is destroyed, fences are buried, machinery has been damaged and logs, branches, rocks, gravel and up to a metre of silt have been dumped on the Ashburton Forks property.

Fences fixed first as farmers count cost of flooding

Parts of Anne-Marie and her husband Chris s farm resemble a bombsite. Their six-hectare water storage pond is destroyed, fences are buried, machinery has been damaged and logs, branches, rocks, gravel and up to a metre of silt have been dumped on the Ashburton Forks property. There s one pivot that was drowned, so we ll probably change its electric motors and of the two generators that run the pivots, one is written off and we re not sure if the other one can be repaired, she says. Photo: RNZ / Cosmo Kentish-Barnes It s hard to quantify how we are going to tackle this problem, she admits.

Chris Bennett: NZ public backs flood-hit farmers

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.
