Sacramento Valley farmers are calculating the damage from the unusually cold spring weather.

Freezing temperatures this weekend destroyed peaches that were just beginning to bud.

Sutter County farmers are reporting losses in walnuts, canning tomatoes and tree fruits.

Yuba County prune orchards lost between 10 percent and all of their fruit. Pear farmers reported 30 percent of their fruit destroyed.

The full extent of crop losses may not be known until harvests begin this summer.
