A Vermont farmer faces the aftermath of massive flooding
A Burlington-area man says his small organic farm sustained $350,000-$400,000 in crop damages alone — and was canoeing through his fields after heavy rains earlier this week.
"It's all gone." That's what one Vermont farmer said about his 30-acre vegetable farm in Burlington, following the worst flooding the state has seen since the aftermath of Hurricane Irene in 2011.
Who is he?
