Frost damage continues to hurt Northern Michigan farmers.

"It's a nerve racking time for apples and cherry farmers. We don't know what were going to do."

Nervous is how the owner of Orchard View Farms, Paul Hubbell feels about the frost advisory issued for Monday night.

"If it gets below freezing and stays there for five to six hours-- then it's going to take this apple off the tree or freeze cherries on the trees again," said Hubbell.

He's already lost about half his crops and hundreds of thousands of dollars this year.

"It makes you worry about where the money is going to come from," said Hubbell. "This is one of those years I wish I would've bought all the insurance you could buy."

The frost Northern Michigan experienced in May already significantly damaged his crop.

Nikki Rothwell with MSU Extension says it's been a rough year for many fruit growers.

"It seems like we've had years where there has been a lot of freezes or frost, but so far this year we've only had one that did a lot of damage," said Rothwell.

And there is the possibility the damage could get worse.

"If it gets really cold out there-- we can get frost scars on our cherries and apples," said Rothwell.

"I am already looking forward to next year," said Hubbell.
