How can flooding help farmers? It provides faster transport at a crucial time of year. It helps make soil more fertile. It never helps farmers. It washes up new seeds for farmers to plant.

Answer:

Flooding never helps farmers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The immediate effect of flooding on the plants is oxygen depletion (because water has less oxygen than air). This causes a lot of damage to the plants and can even cause them to die. Sometimes even transported soil can smother other plants. Flooding makes the soil less fertile and can cause the field to produce more pathogens and weeds due to the increase of moisture and movement of seeds from the weeds.
