Blue Acres Development owner Brett Reidpath says blueberry crops were devastated by dry weather and frost.
A blueberry farm in Richibucto is betting on the approval of a well site development for its primary water source, after three years of extreme weather devastated the crop. 
Brett Reidpath, who owns Blue Acres Development, said the farm lost over 70 per cent of its blueberry crop over the last four years because of dry weather and frost.
He said he can no longer rely on rain and steady temperatures to ensure the 150 acres of wild blueberry fields have a good yield.
