“These ones seemed to go down in a chain effect… Tops of trees are laying on roots of the ones behind it.” Haverkort said staff have been working full days cleaning up the damage, but it’ll take months before it’ll all be cleared.The Nova Scotia Agriculture Association said Antigonish County was one of the hardest-hit areas for farmers in the province, and some won’t even see harvest this year.“There will be some people that this will be like the last straw, with all the cost of inputs that we’ve had even just over this season, before even harvesting some of those crops.
The province said help is on the way and that there will be federal and provincial cost-shared programs in place for insurance and income stability.Farmer Haverkort hopes to see some compensation for the trees he has lost. “I’m not sure what’s coming down the pipeline yet,” he said.“ a huge financial loss not only for one year but for the rest of my life.”
