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 field, my family has 4 sao of damaged corn. Because the corn was collapsed and broken in half, it could not be repaired, so we could only harvest the corn to feed livestock.
