Highmoor Farm in Article About Storm Damage
A Lewiston Sun Journal news report about damage to farms in western Maine following Hurricane Irene included comments from Greg Koller, who runs UMaine Cooperative Extension’s Highmoor Farm in Monmouth, and Extension educator Tori Jackson. Although toppled trees are an issue, Koller said, more crops may fall due to soft ground conditions. Jackson said farmers may suffer a second hit from Irene in the form of disease and insect problems.
