Farmers in southern parts of Henan Province were expecting a bumper golden harvest this year. But six days of unusually heavy rain has ruined their hope. Most of the wheat has turned black and fallen to the ground. And unharvested grain has sprouted due to the wet conditions. From the sky, the area looks like burned out farmland.
