US(TN): Hot dry weather disrupts berry harvest

Fruit farmers in Knoxville,Tennessee are feeling the effects of the hot weather. Some are having to limit picking hours so that the pickers don't get ill.

A local farmer says his blueberry and blackberry crops are suffering from a shortage of rain, he would normally expect to have had eight inches more by this time, this may lead to a drop in profits. There are plenty of berries but they are very small.
