Last week I posted a story about hail damage in the Southeast from the week of severe weather that affected parts of the Southeast. Here is another story from Vegetable Growers News that details more of the damage that hit vegetable growers around the region. The map below from Eric Snodgrass of Nutrien’s newsletter shows the widespread occurrence of large hail across the region. Even small hail can cause damage to fruit and vegetables that can make it impossible to sell due to cosmetic flaws.
