Protect your crops from flooding!


Preparation is crucial to preventing agriculture loss from flooding

An often overlooked issue with flooding is the huge loss of agricultural staples such as wheat, corn, other grains and crops.  Most flood water contains contaminates and any crops that come into the flood water for a period of time will have to be destroyed.  In particular, flood damaged grain always needs to be destroyed due to the contaminates that can enter through water.



Flooded crops = higher prices and waste


Unfortunately, for most farms and communities, preparation for inevitable flooding occurs too late to save crops.  Billions of dollars of crops in the ground can be destroyed in a major flood event, and millions of dollars of grain and other harvested crops most likely are destroyed by water contamination.  This can equal economic ruin for the famers affected and drive the cost of food up substantially for the USA and the rest of the world who depends on US agriculture.

Prepare now to save your crops 


There are several resources available on the internet that provide guidance on preparing your crops for a flood in the hours before the water hits.  The key to saving your crops both in the ground and in storage is to prevent the contaminated water from ever getting to your crops!  The Big Bags USA System is a great option for both quick response protection and longer term barriers around your fields and storage facilities. 

Damage to crops in the north and north-east will run into millions of dollars.Big Bags USA protective flood barrier systems are ground conforming and therefore have the ability to be deployed on terrain that is uneven or unleveled with negligible preparations. The protective flood barrier system is well suited for corner and curved deployments. The systems are stackable directly on top of each other two systems tall, for higher stacking the pyramid method is advised. In environments that are unreachable with standard equipment, Big Bags USA flood barrier systems are liftable for safe and effective deployment using our spreader bar.
