## Resource

New Jersey farmers face a devastating season following a late April freeze, with losses up to 100% on certain fruits. Governor Mikie Sherrill declares a state of emergency, estimating damages over $300 million. Farmers like Jim Giamarese, a seventy-year-old farmer, estimate ninety percent of his apple crop and forty percent of his strawberries are gone. Farmers emphasize the need for financial assistance and community support to help them adapt and survive this challenging year.
