Kunz's farm was one of hundreds devastated by cataclysmic flooding that killed at least 160 people
TRAVESSEIRO – It was 6:00 in the morning when Brazil ian farmer Vernei Kunz heard the roar of water as the Forqueta river overflowed its banks and swept away most of his 5,000 pigs.
Kunz and his workers managed to save about 700 pigs, he said. The slaughterhouse he works with collected them and is sending them to other farms in the region.A foul smell fills the air, a pungent reminder of the pigs still buried beneath the mud three weeks later.The river, about 500 meters from Kunz's property, swelled as torrential rains pounded the region in late April.
The pig farmers' association for Rio Grande do Sul, one of Brazil's biggest producers and exporters of pork, said the devastation affected between 25 and 28 percent of production."That time, we could rebuild. This time, the water destroyed everything.""You can't go against nature," said Kunz, still wearing galoshes.
