Take precautionary measures to minimize the impact of heavy rains and possible flooding. Reinforce your farm structures—such as trellises, drying sheds, and animal shelters—to withstand strong winds and rain. Schedule your planting and harvesting during fair weather to prevent crop damage. Maintain proper drainage in your rice fields and vegetable plots to avoid waterlogging. If flooding is likely in your area, move your livestock to higher and safer ground. Check your storage areas for seeds, fertilizers, and animal feeds, and keep them elevated and protected from water to prevent spoilage.
