BOX ELDER COUNTY, Utah — Joel Ferry waded through waist-high water Monday, surveying his underwater farm.
The Executive Director of the Department of Natural Resources has tried estimating the loss Utah farmers face this summer, and it’s devastating, he said.Floods come in cycles, but this is unprecedented for the Bear River, said Ferry. Every fall, a large portion of Ferry's farm becomes Ferry’s Pumpkin Patch, but that won't be happening this year because the land is buried under four feet of water, and the farmer can't plant pumpkins.
“I've got some grain and hay that I've had planted, and I didn't fertilize it because I was pretty sure I was going to lose it," he said.
