According to information from the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Ky Anh Town, due to the influence of the cold air at the end of the season, heavy rain combined with thunderstorms and whirlwinds occurred in the town on the evening of May 10, causing more than 80 hectares of spring rice to fall. It is known that in the 2025 spring crop, Ky Anh town planted 1,162 hectares of rice with the main varieties: Khang Dan, Xuan Mai, HN6, PC6, BT 09, ADI 168...
Since early this morning, many farmers in Ky Anh town have been rushing to the fields. In places where the rice has collapsed, people use their hands to dig the rice stalks out of the water, "prop them up", and then tie them into clusters.
Ms. Tran Thi Hoa (Tran Phu TDP, Hung Tri Ward) is busy rebuilding her family's 1 sao of C6 rice near her house. "If we don't rebuild the rice quickly, the seeds will germinate in just one or two days. This year, my family planted rice in 2 places with a total area of 6 sao, the estimated yield is about 3 quintals/sao, but the heavy rains of the past few days have damaged more than 2 sao. This year, we thought we would have a good harvest, but it turned out to be..." , Ms. Hoa said with a sigh.
Witnessing the damage to the fruits of labor after only a few days of rain and wind, Mr. Tran Van Toan (Dong Trinh TDP, Ky Trinh Ward) choked up and said: "My family expected to harvest on May 20, but we did not expect natural disasters to strike. This year, my family and I predicted that the rice yield would be very high. However, due to heavy rain and thunderstorms, all 3 sao of rice in my family were destroyed. It is forecasted that there will continue to be rain in the next few days, so it is really difficult to save the rice...".
Heavy rain and strong winds in the early morning of May 11 caused nearly 7 hectares of rice belonging to Mr. Duong Cong Kieu's family (Dong Thanh TDP, Dong Mon Ward, Ha Tinh City) that was about to enter the harvest period to fall down. Seeing the rice field, after so much care, now damaged overnight made Mr. Kieu feel heartbroken.
Mr. Kieu had to use a large pump day and night to quickly drain water from the rice field to "remove as much as possible".
Dong Mon Ward (Ha Tinh City) had to open 2/3 of the sewers in the area to drain water as quickly as possible for farmers.
It is known that Ha Tinh city has more than 150 hectares of rice that have fallen due to heavy rain and strong winds, mainly in the milky to waxy stage.
Farmers in Trung Phu village, Thach Thang commune (Ha Tinh city) quickly went to the fields to clear the flow, minimizing damage.
According to information from the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Ha Tinh, the prolonged heavy rains accompanied by whirlwinds that occurred in recent days have caused serious damage to agricultural production in the area, especially rice, with more than 1,780 hectares of rice falling. What is worrying is that most of the affected rice areas are in an important stage of development, from milk to wax ripening. Rice falling at this time has the potential to reduce productivity, affect the quality of rice at the end of the crop and cause great difficulties for harvesting.
To minimize yield losses, the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities need to direct and urge farmers to regularly monitor weather developments to proactively take timely response measures. Focus on clearing the flow to minimize local flooding, avoiding affecting the growth and development of crops. For areas of fallen rice, instruct farmers to erect trees, tie 4-5 rice clumps so that the rice can continue to accumulate dry matter into the grain, limiting the rate of damaged or germinated rice.
