Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is asking the federal government for disaster aid to help farms and wineries that had their crops damaged by a late-spring freeze.

Some counties have reported losing more than 90% of their apple, peach and barley crops, according to the Maryland Farm Service Agency. The Maryland Wineries Association reported more than one-third of grape acreage “suffered total loss.”

Much of the state experienced an unusual cold snap and frost on April 21, at a key point in the spring growing season for orchards and vineyards and just days after a heat wave broke temperature records. Some wineries lit fires near their vines in an attempt to keep them warm enough for the buds to survive.

“Maryland’s farmers are resilient, but the scale of this climate event exceeds local and state recovery capacities,” Moore, a Democrat, wrote in a letter to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Wednesday.

Officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture are reviewing Moore’s request and are “working through the proper channels to resolve the situation,” said spokesperson Michael Abboud.

Farms and wineries will lose money because they still need to tend to their damaged plants and fields without being able to generate revenue from them, Moore wrote in the letter.

Moore wrote the crop losses exceed the 30% threshold required to qualify for a disaster declaration from the secretary.

“Swift action is essential to provide the stability Maryland’s farmers need to recover from this catastrophe and prepare for the next growing season,” Moore wrote.

The Maryland Farm Bureau also sent a letter to Rollins seeking a disaster declaration, noting severe losses in orchards and vineyards.

“Our farmers are worried, and for many, this frost represents the loss of an entire year of income in a single night,” the Maryland Farm Bureau wrote.

Earlier this month, a bipartisan group of more than three dozen state lawmakers asked Moore to tap emergency funds to help wineries after industry reports said at least half of the state’s grape-producing acreage would not produce fruit this year because of the cold snap.

Last year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied Maryland’s aid request following flooding in Western Maryland, a decision state leaders believe the Republican Trump administration made to punish a Democratic-run state.
