A hailstorm damaged ten acres of lettuce

A hailstorm hit the Kriško polje area on July 11, causing significant damage to crops such as lettuce, cucumbers, and potatoes. The storm affected nearly ten hectares of lettuce fields, with additional damage reported across other crops like corn, soybeans, and potatoes. Local agricultural advisory services, farming associations, and municipal representatives have assessed the damage and are considering submitting a claim based on a preliminary assessment issued by the Protection and Rescue Administration regarding the June 20 hailstorm. Farmers, including Anže Oranič from Križ, described the impact as catastrophic, particularly affecting lettuce, lettuce greens, and cucumbers.
