Do floods help plants animals or farmers on the land surrounding a river?

None of the above. Floods themselves contribute to a lot of damage and loss of production on a farm itself, especially if rivers over flow newly seeded land or needed pasture for livestock, which can really hurt the pocket book of a "farmer" (or producer). Maybe the after-affects of floods may help, but only if the moisture is not in excess. If it is, crops, pasture plants and even animals will drown, and buildings could also be damaged if they are located on the natural flood plains of a river.
