$7 000 IN MONKEY DAMAGE

MONKEYS SEEM to have had the last laugh on farmer Wilbert Morgan.

The former teacher has lost more than $7 000 worth of crops after his cassava and sweet potatoes were raided by a troop of the mischievous primates.

Morgan all but thrown up his hands in frustration over the pillage of his fields at Bawdens, St Andrew, and a lack of water to nurture his crops.  (TG)
