What is the sun blockage from the smoke from fires going to do to agriculture in the West?

I know nothing about crop growth cycles in the states most affected by the wildfire smoke. Will blocking the sun for days stunt growth?
Which crops will be damaged by the poor air quality?
The pictures look like those post huge volcano eruptions, and nuclear winter apocalyptic books.

has been accelerated in a effort to save what grapes they can from Smoke Damage. My guess is Salad Greens are being plowed down because of Ash and smoke damage.
