Present in the Lam River alluvial area, Dai Dong commune, districtThanh ChuongOn the morning of June 5, we witnessed many areas of corn being flattened.
A farmer in Dai Dong commune, Thanh Chuong district shared: The corn area that was collapsed was planted in early February 2023, and now has young corn. In the beach area, my family has 4 sao of damaged corn. Because it was collapsed and broken in half, it could not be repaired, and the only way to harvest the corn was to feed livestock.
