Cold brings hurricane impact

The cumulative crop damage from the cold in the Southeast has hammered growers hard, and it isn't over yet. Here is coverage from The Packer's Doug Ohlemeier on the expected damage to crops.

Here is coverage from the AP on the same topic. This report says 50% of Georgia peaches and 80% to 90% of S.C. peaches may be lost.

Don't forget the North Carolina apple industry also suffered a devastating loss - anywhere from 90% to 100% loss due to the extreme cold weather last weekend here in Western North Carolina.
