(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of March 28, many people in Thanh Lien commune (Thanh Chuong) had to go to the fields to "clean up" broken corn plants.
The cause of this phenomenon was determined by the people to be a whirlwind accompanied by rain on the evening of March 26. According to the reporter's observations, the damage caused was quite large, many households "lost" their entire corn growing area.

People were surprised and regretful when after just one night the corn plants fell down. |
 |
On the field, ox carts carrying corn kept moving forward. |
 |
People even used bicycles to transport broken corn. |
 |
Some families had all their corn broken down. |
 |
According to Ms. Pham Thi Van (Hamlet 5, Thanh Lien), "If the tree is slightly tilted, it can still be fixed, but several acres of corn are broken. Not to mention the nitrogen fertilizer, the cost of plowing and harrowing each acre is 160 thousand. We farmers are at a loss." |
 |
Because so much corn was broken, people had to sell it to a dairy feed purchasing unit at a cheap price, only 47 thousand VND/100 kg of corn. |
