In Madarganj upazila of Jamalpur, continuous rain and strong winds have caused extensive damage to boro paddy, jute, maize, and other crops. Fields are submerged, and half-ripe paddy is rotting as farmers face both yield losses and difficulties in harvesting. According to the local agriculture office, 560 hectares of boro paddy, 350 hectares of jute, 120 hectares of maize, 50 hectares of vegetables, and several banana fields have been affected, with some areas completely destroyed.

Farmers in several low-lying areas, including Tartapara, Jorkhali, and Gabergram Jhalupara, are struggling to harvest crops in knee- to waist-deep water. Many are cutting half-ripe paddy to prevent further losses, while others are tying fallen stalks to keep them upright. Local farmers described severe waterlogging and crop damage, saying they were forced to harvest early to avoid total loss.

Upazila Agriculture Officer Habibur Rahman said officials are assessing the damage and advising farmers to drain water quickly, harvest fallen paddy, and tie up unripe plants to reduce further losses.
