As temperatures continue to lower, the possibility of a freeze is in the back of a farmer’s mind.
GENEVA COUNTY, Ala. - Temperatures in the Wiregrass are finally straying away from the summertime feeling and starting to feel more like fall.“The fruit is already going into production,” said John Aplin, owner of Aplin Farms. “They are blooming, they have flowers on them, or they have fruit on them, then all of a sudden you get a late freeze, then your fruit freezes and it’s gone for the year.
“We have frost blankets. We pull frost blankets over the fields. We don’t have wind machines but most of the big peach growers have big wind machines, they try to create wind and bring the warm air down from up above,” said Aplin. “We usually burn hay bales or burn whatever we need to burn to create enough heat in the orchard, not to keep them warm, but to keep the frost and freeze out of the orchards.
In many cases, trees and crops will be preparing for warmer temperatures and the freeze will oftentimes lead to loss.
