Flood borne silt would be one of the best things for that farmland. Millenia of annual floods is why it is farmland.

It is not black dirt that would inundate the area. The farm land would be filled with sand and debris... it would take decades to recoup from the damage, and some think the land would never be used for farming again.

The land has been farmed for generations.

People assume that because the Nile river flooding helped farms at one point that all river floods benefit all farm land.
There is farmland in MO that has still not fully recovered from the 93 flood.
