Concord New Hampshire Agriculture Commissioner Frank Buckley warned the state may lose about 1 million of a predicted 5 million dollar apple crop due to drought heat and a shortage of experienced pickers.

Buckley cited political friction over labor control and argued locals have proven unreliable.
