Can fields be destroyed by water so that new ones need to be dug up?

I currently have a character whose fields are destroyed as they are at the base of a valley, and the rain has completely killed the seeds and waterlogged the dirt. Thus, main character needs to dig out new ones on higher elevation and then plant the seeds before it is too late and his family goes hungry.

Is this realistic? Can fields be so damaged by water and there not be enough time to dry that new ones must be dug? My friend said no, I said yes, but neither of us are farmers.

The actual crop does not matter - if anything, I will adjust the crop to make the situation more realistic.
