Hail smashes crops, piles up inches deep in parts of Door County

An isolated hail storm late Monday and early Tuesday forced snow plows onto the roads of Door County and caused significant crop damage.

Matt Stasiak, superintendent of the [UW-Madison] Peninsular Agriculture Research Station three miles north of Sturgeon Bay, said the hail storm destroyed virtually every crop at the facility and likely caused over $1 million in damage.
