WINDSOR, N.S. — Apple growers in Nova Scotia say they’ve lost up to 50 per cent of their crop this year. The Nova Scotia Fruit Growers’ Association says that below-freezing temperatures in June played a big part in the losses, and the hardest-hit crops were in areas at low elevations. Phil Daniels, owner of Daniels U-Pick, says 99 per cent of his crops died due to the freezing June temperatures, resulting in about a 75 per cent drop in sales. He says people aren’t coming to the farm in Windsor because they know he got hit by frost.
