FARMER’S organisations have expressed concerns over the incessant rains that have pounded the country for the past few days as they have the potential of ruin their crops.
Most parts of Mashonaland Central – Mt Darwin and Bindura – Mashonaland West and Midlands have been receiving large amounts of rainfall. A recent update from the Metrological Services Department shows that the country is expected to receive more rains up until this Wednesday with flash flooding anticipated in some areas.
Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union president, Shadreck Makombe, said farmers in Mashonaland Central are much concerned about the plant growth which has been hindered by the heavy rains.
