The Farmer in the area that I work in have been face with the problem for many years. How to keep their plants for getting to much water from the weather. The farmer come to ask me if I could help them solve this problem. So I help them with putting plastic mulch in their fields to plant in. the plastic mulch help by raising the plant out of the water and letting some of the water run off of the plant. This will increase the product of the plant so that they will have more product to sell.
