Hailstones- grower’s nightmare



On Sunday 15th July we were hit quite badly with a hail storm on two farms, where we grow a premium variety Braeburn apples, causing damages on 80% of the crop. The damages were very severe, some apples were hit so hard they split the skin and left large indentations. Hail, the size of a golf ball, was reported on the local news, doing some damages to the vehicles in the area
