Heavy rain has devastated a farm in Bayfield.

The Bayfield Berry Farm announced they lost their entire Saskatoon berry crop because of Tuesday's heavy rainfall.

Marlene Beyerlein of the Bayfield Berry Farm says summer conditions haven't been the only thing holding the business back.

She tells the recent winter saw temperatures so cold it damaged a good portion of stock, and strawberries are at about 20 per cent of a normal harvest.

Beyerlein says an inch of rain in a day can be good for berries, but this week's storm saw roughly three inches fall in a short period of time.

Combine that with strong winds, and she says the result was devastating.

The losses have been so substantial, Beyerlein questions whether the farm will replant.

She tells us the Bayfield Berry Farm has had six bad years of harvesting due to weather, and it's hard to keep going.
