My dad always hammered into us kids heads never to leave farm equipment in the flood plain. Didn't matter if it was a sunny day and tomorrow predicted the same. We always drove the tractors out of the creek bottoms at the end of the day. He said he had seen it flood every month of the year, it could happen fast, and he was not into swimming equipment out of flood waters.
That always stuck in my mind, his insistance, and I have always been thoughtful about potentially rising water levels.
Hope your feeder is ok. Probably nothing new electronics will not fix.
Edit: if it does get flooded take the circuit boards out, wash them with fresh water, and let them dry in the sun a couple days (or hair dryer). It is surprising what some circuit boards will take. The biggest thing that does them in is having power applied while wet. Do not repower them till they are bone dry. Some components will not take water. Other things like fixed resistors and ceramic capacitors usually ok. So depends on whats on the board........
