![]() Well, I've communicated with a number of them. Have you talked to farmers that have been impacted by the flooding? ![]() But it's hard to complain when I still have some stuff I can harvest and not everything was underwater. We've got our own damages from the ongoing wet spell, diseases and nutrient loss in the soils. And that's a huge number of farms, both diversified farms like mine and also number of dairy farms, cornfields and hay fields. Certainly through the whole central quarter of Vermont and any farms that were down on that fantastic river bottom land have now been flooded out. I certainly have a bit of survivor's guilt. Speaking with WAMC North Country Bureau Chief Pat Bradley, Zuckerman describes what it’s like to experience flooding, how the state can help and how it feels to be among those who avoided the floods. The Progressive’s Full Moon Farm avoided the severe flooding that many farms experienced last week, but Zuckerman has experienced flooding in the past when he farmed at Burlington’s Intervale. When Vermont Lieutenant Governor David Zuckerman is not in the Statehouse presiding over the Senate or traveling the state advocating for various issues, he is working on his organic vegetable farm in Hinesburg.
