(WPRI) — It's almost the time of year to pick out a Christmas tree, but have the dry conditions impacted local farms? Portions of Northern Rhode Island and Bristol County Massachusetts are in a severe drought. The good news is the drought will not impact prices and supplies this year, but it could be a different story a few years down the line. Fire weather forecast: What’s the risk level right now? In most cases, it takes farmers 10 to 15 years to grow these trees. That means trees that are currently being planted are turning yellow on the inside with their needles falling off. Chris Moran, a farmer in Mendon, Massachusetts, planted 2,700 trees this past spring and has lost 500 of them so far. "We lost 20-25% of the trees we planted this year, in ten years I have 20-25% less of my product to sell," Moran said. "You know there's probably 300 trees in this section alone and I probably have 150 that are dead. I shouldn't lose that many. I should lose 10 trees." Last season, trees were being killed by there being too much rainfall. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Daily Roundup SIGN UP NOW
