You never want to see this - Aussie Version

Awhile back I blogged about a farm in the US facing drought with the title of "you never want to see this ...".   Drought is awful to contemplate and the loss of crops is truly depressing.

In contrast, my friends on the farm "up north" that I often shoot on have had a great growing season and they had just commenced harvesting - until yesterday.

Then a hail storm hit - this is what is left of the crop ...

Yuck. Hail sucks.

Ouch. That is NOT good.

Ouch is right, hopefully he has crop insurance!

Julie said...

Thanks guys. Yes they do have insurance, so they are now going through the process of claiming.

Wow, that's a heart breaker. They worked hard all season to have it destroyed at the last minute.

Glad they had insurance. Farmers don't normally have the capital to lose a crop like that on their own.

Crap.
We get some pretty nasty hail storms here, too. Same results.
