Late-April Freeze Causes Major Crop Losses Across Northeast Orchards
A rare late-April freeze has caused severe agricultural damage across the Northeastern United States, particularly in New Jersey and surrounding states, wiping out significant portions of apple and peach crops. Farmers describe the event as unprecedented, with some calling it a âgenerational freezeâ that struck at a critical stage of fruit development, leaving orchards with little to no viable harvest for the season. In New Jersey alone, state agriculture officials estimate losses of approximately $300 million, affecting hundreds of farms and threatening the economic stability of local agricultural communities.
At Terhune Orchards in Princeton, farmers report catastrophic damage, noting that multiple fruit crops were lost simultaneously, an unusual and highly damaging occurrence. The freeze also impacted Pennsylvania, another major peach-producing state, raising concerns about regional shortages of fresh fruit across the Northeast and potential ripple effects in supply chains.
State officials, including the New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture, have emphasized that the timing of the freeze made it particularly destructive, occurring when trees were in a vulnerable stage of bloom. In response, New Jersey has requested federal disaster assistance, including low-interest loans to help farmers recover and maintain operations despite reduced or nonexistent income from this yearâs harvest.
While apples and peaches suffered the most severe losses, some farms report that other crops such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and vegetables remain viable and may provide partial financial relief. Farmers are encouraging consumers to support local agriculture during the recovery period. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has already announced assistance for Pennsylvania growers, while New Jerseyâs request is still under review, as communities across the region brace for ongoing economic impacts from the freeze.

@verymetalsite LOL I wish I could even play H.265 on higher than museum grade resolution.
When I play ordinary H.264/AAC mp4 sometimes the mpv freezes up and I have to restart it, sometimes the whole Linux kernel freezes up and video playback stops working (desktop typing still works) and I have to reboot, I asked a friend who is a professional full time kernel developer and he said I can't do anything else with it than just pull the power cord out (it won't even shut down).
