Typhoon No. 19 wrecked "nagaimo" yam farms in the Matsushiro district of Nagano city. At Kubo Farm, which lies along the Chikumagawa river and has been cultivating yams for 50 years, the field is still unsuitable to growing due to flooding from Typhoon No. 19. Yoshisada Kubo, 78, and his wife Aiko, 78, are still busy with clean-up work on their farm. “Nagaimo yams are still alive in the soil, and I need to manage the situation before winter comes,” Kubo said Nov. 11.
