"We have been hit by two storms in the last couple of weeks, both of which caused significant damage"
Storm Babet, which made landfall in the UK on 19th October, brought torrential rainfall, causing extensive flooding, particularly in parts of Scotland where it was the second storm to hit the country in as many weeks.
Potato farmers to the northeast of Edinburgh, specifically Angus, were among the hardest hit. Most potato crops, which were still in the ground, were affected.
