^^^^^^^ Always tough to see farmers put in all that hard work, time and money and then go through a crop loss.

So very sad...I have seen it more times in my family than I care to admit. A beautiful crop, and then along comes hail, high winds, frost or whatever. It's devastating to those who live off the land and produce for others...

I don't know about veggies but 30 years ago before I left Florida, they would "fire the citrus groves" when the temp dropped. Don't they still do that?

No EPA stopped it. When I was young old tires were burned and then came diesel filled smudged pots. It was to dangerous mixing smoke and fog. Now micro jet irritation puts out 70° heat underneath the trees.

My current pity party is the wait to get my rolling condo turned into a rolling cat house.
