The sporadic cold weather has many apple farmers in Massachusetts worried.
Apple trees began budding earlier this season, but the recent cold weather is hurting their growth.
Local farmers are now waiting to see how the weather affected their apple trees.
"We’ve probably lost about 50%, but we’re really hopeful,” Rihana Hooten of Atkins Farm said.
The cold weather may be especially harmful to areas of western Massachusetts, where there are many farms.
