LA TRINIDAD, Benguet- Benguet farmers just bouncing back from losses incurred during Typhoon Ompong last year are now bracing for Tropical Storm Ramon, which might affect their crops set for peak seas

on harvest in La Trinidad town.

Because the weather has been good to them this year, their yield is now being prepared for harvest in December, just in time for the high season. Each strawberry farm records 200 to 300 strawberry pickers each day in the months of December to February.“Kung malakas 'yung pag-ulan, baka may ma-flood dito sa farm. Ang hindi magandang epekto nun, maraming disease sa aming mga tanim,” said Calayon.

Meanwhile, lettuce farmer Jubeskie Sukabit is thinking of harvesting his Romaine lettuce early to save them from the rains.
