Lake County News | California - Dry weather, spring freeze cost local farmers millions

Drought combined with “one of the coldest Aprils in a long time” hit the county's top four crops – grapes, pears, nursery and cattle – hard, according to Hajik.


In terms of potential dollar losses, the survey shows that pears were impacted by 35 to 40 percent, with an estimated $12.1 million in total losses for farmers, Hajik said.
