Christmas trees and apple trees are also seeing losses.
With dry conditions fire danger also remains a risk with high potential for fires to spread if brush is ignited.
Multiple burn bans are in effect and the current fire danger rating from the Michigan DNR shows our region highlighted in the High to Extreme mark.
