Another big loss, another appeal for help for Spencer’s farmers

Farmers at Spencer’s, Christ Church, raised the alarm on Tuesday that rampant crop theft has put livelihoods at risk, and they are calling for urgent government intervention. The latest victim said she and her neighbours were at their wits’ end, as organised thieves continued to target their fields, getting away with their bounty in the dead of night. Veronica Garnes, a widow who has farmed in the area for over four years, told Barbados TODAY that thieves made off with her entire quarter-acre crop of cantaloupes just days before she was due to harvest and sell them. 📸: Sheria Brathwaite
