Amid on­go­ing de­struc­tion and hard­ship in the agri­cul­tur­al com­mu­ni­ty of Los Iros, a farmer suf­fered fur­ther loss on Sun­day when a thief stole 3,000 pounds of his toma­toes.

Pres­i­dent of the Sus­tain­able Cli­mate Re­silience Ini­tia­tive, Ed­ward Mood­ie, is urg­ing the pub­lic to be on the look­out for the man he be­lieves will try to sell the stolen pro­duce.

Mood­ie, who has been as­sist­ing farm­ers since mas­sive land move­ment de­stroyed the road lead­ing to their farm­lands near­ly two weeks ago, said the theft took place dur­ing a vis­it by gov­ern­ment min­is­ters, the En­vi­ron­men­tal Man­age­ment Au­thor­i­ty, and oth­er of­fi­cials.
