Corn Fields Outside B’Pan Damaged By Storm

And while Dangriga and the surrounding communities were spared strong winds, flooding and storm surge - the disorganized storm did do damage in Belmopan, of all places.

On Saturday evening, there was a sustained, torrential downpour in that area which caused some minor flooding, light winds and most consequentially devastating damage to corn fields in the banana bank and Kitty Bank area.

According to PLUS TV the damages to corn fields in those area amount to 2.7 million dollars! And the destruction of one thousand acres of corn and damage to another 1,750 acres is also expected to result in a local shortage of corn which may drive prices of corn products up.
