I heard a report today on an Albany, NY radio station that up to 1/3
of the NY apple crop may have been impacted (particularly western New
York) and that they are actively seeking federal disaster assistance?
(But that is the media, although it was public radio, :-)) I know at
least two significant orchards in the upper Connecticut River valley
of Massachusetts saw some hail damage from the same set of storms that
crossed NY earlier this week, and one orchard in eastern Mass. had
hail the day after. Could be along summer if the weather pattern
holds...

Greetings,
Just saw a report on hail in the Great Lakes Area. Could any of our
friends update us as to how bad it was ?
Hopefully the orchards were spared....
