Laura is a great field reporter! Clear, concise information.

How heartening to see all the people and all the volunteers working those fields; granted disheartening to see tje flooded field just hours later. There was a time that in this state folks would work similarly to save crops for one reason or another.

Not just Vermont. Farmers in MN are also waiting for the flood waters to recede to see what corn & soybean harvest will be like this year!

It’s smart to try to help them 😊 It’s what makes us different and family wise

Hug a farmer!

❤❤❤ 👍 to Vermont for trying .........around the world more is happening ....faster than was predicted over forty years ago

God Bless them🙏

Do you think American's will EVER recognize that when something like this happens it INFLATES prices and makes food more scarce? nah.

😭 GOD BLESS THEM

Time to start hoarding food NOW 😮

Aloha hugs 🤗 you could use a paddle boards

Grow rice?

We have to abandon low lying areas as floodplains. Farmers need to use regenerative practices. A healed soil can absorb a foot of rain but there's nothing to be done permanently for those living too close to water except move them.

When I lived there in the 80's, the Intervale was just beginning to be redeveloped after a long period of abandonment. WE ALL KNEW the reason they'd always been a hit-or-miss resource was due to flooding. Why is everyone acting like this is some rare and unpredictable tragedy?

Developers and local government officials are to blame poor engineering over profit. My mothers old beautiful neighborhood now floods from all the subdivisions that corralled their beautiful are! Unreal, how irresponsible humans are! Sad to see

Starting to look like many attempts at improving local sustainability & resilience are not working very well. Never mind that re-localization is inflationary due to higher costs, there is also the problem of accelerating climate change and extreme weather events interfering with lots of hard work. Time to more closely examine evolving local conditions and adjust planning to try to adapt to the climate transition that is unfolding around us.

Dams have a lot to do with this issue where to have nowhere to run their natural course and humans have been so negligent in seeing the bad things that's coming all based on choices made by decades of bad choices

Yeah just for the homeless people everybody is going to be misplaced for a minute or two rivermont we come back strong or just recumbent as elderly people that go into State and politics and make it worse

Well Barnie Sanders said "NO" to reparations oh well!

Because we have elderly in office not new won't people that have just moved here and think they can just be from honors start making rice patties if you think you can't keep your crops

How can you believe in a god but not believe in that God's influence your circumstances
