What does Joel 1:12 mean?

The grapevines are dried up, the fig trees are withered. Pomegranate, palm, and apple trees—every tree in the field is dead. Joy has dried up along with them. Joel 1:12 - Modern Text Bible

(The destruction is so complete that even happiness has disappeared, just like the ruined trees.)
