For the first time in the six years he has been farming, Devon Slater of Orange Hill, St James is faced with a monkey problem.
The green, furry primates have been raiding his small pineapple farm causing him significant financial losses.
The attacks only started last week and three to four fruits are either eaten, bitten or destroyed daily. However, although the losses are discouraging, he has been implementing strategies to fight back against the monkeys.
BT’ Sheria Brathwaite took a tour of 3/4 acre farm to get a closer look at how Slater is handling the issue.
