BEAVER TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Crop damage from severe thunderstorms that dropped hail on parts of Michigan has prompted concern that some harvests will suffer this year, farmers and officials said.
Bay County farmer Lee Koch told The Bay City Times (http://bit.ly/1tW3YYc ) that he won’t know the effects of damage on his 1,200 acres of land until the fall. High winds, rain and hail hit parts of the Lower Peninsula on Sunday, including Bay County, where corn and soybean plants were torn up by golf-ball-sized hail.
