Martha’s Vineyard has had one of its longest cold stretches in recent years, giving some Islanders hope that the deep freeze would affect the tick population. Scientists say don’t get your hopes up. https://t.co/Dv3cydLETP

Martha’s Vineyard has nearly two dozen farms and agriculture is one of the major employers, outside of construction, health care and public sector jobs. So the two have lots in common.
