LANSING (WKZO) -- Michigan fruit farmers who are dealing with catastrophic crop losses will get some help from the state.  Governor Snyder signed legislation spending 15-million dollars to cover the costs for banks to offer low interest loans to those affected in the agriculture industry.  Losses are expected to be over 200-million dollars in the state after several freezes in April followed abnormally high temperatures in March.
