Wow, this was serious hail! I feel so sorry for the people who had to throw away ripe tomatoes, so many hours of work went down the drain. Is toughened glass that expensive? I would consider it as a good investment if the weather is getting bad, the crops need protection otherwise the farmers work for nothing.
I wonder if the government could help with this. Going green is quite a thing and also sustainable agriculture can be supported.
In our country there were some grants given to people who wanted to put solar panels on their roof and use natural materials as wool to insulate their house. Maybe building great weather proof greenhouses could he a thing. It would be pretty awesome

Brave little chicken strolling during a hail storm lol.
