How one farm is doing after July floods in Western Mass.

13:04

It’s been almost a month since parts of Western Massachusetts were hit hard by extreme weather and flooding. The state’s Department of Agricultural Resources estimates that 110 farms were affected by the severe weather, and that related losses total $15 million.

Stone Soup Farm in Hadley, MA is among them.

About 80% of the 10-acre farm was flooded during the rains. Today, Dave DiLorenzo, owner of Stone Soup Farm, joins The Common to look back at the day his crops flooded, and to look ahead to what's next for the farm.
