Freeze burns wine grapes, fruit trees



Nevada County's agricultural commisioner will seek disaster relief from the state after tens of thousands of dollars worth of crops were ruined from last week's freezing temperatures.

Orchard trees, wine grapes and pastures were hardest hit, Pylman said. The commissioner is compiling a report of damages that he will send to the state Office of Emergency Services in coming weeks.

“Growers don’t have anything to harvest. That’s a disaster in my mind,” Pylman said.

Any farmers who want to report damages can contact Pylman at 273-2648.
