An estimated two-million pounds of the asparagus crop in Oceana County was lost this week due to freezing temperatures.

Around 65-percent of the state’s asparagus crop is grown in Oceana County where (I heard on the radio this morning) temperatures are running about 10 degrees F below normal.

Michigan Asparagus Advisory Board executive director John Bakker says they think they only lost about ten-percent of the overall crop.
