Western Japan rain disaster causes ¥120 bil in agricultural damage

If farming was such a nonprofit industry then no one would be a farmer. nonprofit is the wrong word its a welfare industry, funded by the taxpayer , they consume about 5% of the annual budget but represent less than 1% of the economy, with taxpayer support many wouldn't be farming

Could it not be more a case of agricultural damage causes rain disaster? Massive efforts are expended in re-shaping the country at the risk of creating unstable landscapes.

I wonder how they calculate those yen numbers in what must be a state of some chaos..... its' a pity all government actions don't proceed with such despatch as the compiling of statistics.

I hope the Japanese government do not use this disaster to secretly redistribute those other black bags in Fukushima.

Anything to raise prices and make profits, except the consumer.  Always an excuse by the greedy farmers. If farming was such a nonprofit industry then no one would be a farmer.

I am quite sure that even us folks down here will see higher prices for veggies due to this! I hope the people get back on their feet soon!
