(Franklin County, MA) Flooding along rivers in Franklin County has presented many challenges to local farms. Ciesluk’s Farmstead in South Deerfield is experiencing flooding in their corn fields in the north meadows. They’re hoping to salvage some of the crops and plant again. Natural Roots farm in Conway sustained significant crop damage and lost some chickens and farm equipment in the initial flooding. Volunteers joined the farmers Tuesday to help with cleanup after their fields were covered in water. They, like many other area farms, are planning next steps to recover from the damages.
