At the earliest time that it is sate to- venture outside, it would be wise to get a ladder and wash off the roof. This would sharply cut the radiation inside the home. Places where the water runs off the roof will, of course, be radiologically "hot” and unsafe.
Radioactvity is very unlikely to have significant effect on the water supply of an average farm that draws from a typical covered well. Large bodies of water, like reservoirs with large surfaces, should be avoided until they are checked with instruments.
Radiological contamination on" the ground can be made. far less harmful by plowing it under. This might well be done around the house and farm buildings, and ground that will be used for human or animal occupancy.
The earth cover resulting from plowihg will reduce radiation^ FCDA reports.
Stored grain that has any decent kind of cover to protect it from radioactive particles from the fallout should be usable for animal or human food or for seed. If the grain were not protected from fallout, it would be necessary to wait for several days until the rar diation lessens. More information is still needed on the effect of radiation on grain planted in contaminated ground, as to what it does to growing plants, or its effect on humans or animals who eat those plants.
