The Ohio Department of Agriculture has issued a late frost advisory, warning of potential frost conditions that could harm local agriculture. This advisory, reported by Spectrum News 1, is a response to an expected significant drop in temperatures, posing a risk to frost-sensitive crops. The advisory is part of a larger initiative, the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, which supports local farmers by enhancing the competitiveness of specialty crops like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and nursery crops. This program offers financial aid to organizations, including nonprofits, universities, and research institutions, to help them mitigate the impact of adverse weather.
