Farmers begin rice transplanting after dike breaches sealed in C China
In Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, farmers resumed planting rice seedlings on August 5, 2024, following severe flooding caused by Typhoon Gaemi. The typhoon triggered record-breaking floods on the Juanshui River, leading to dike breaches between July 28 and 29. The breaches have since been repaired, allowing farmers to begin replanting. Despite the damage, the recovery efforts are underway, with agriculture gradually returning to normal in the affected areas.
