Hello,

 

For those in the Dover/Plant City Area, I got a request from Gio Ijpkemeule at SWFWMD for growers that may be interested in a portable wind machine for frost protection – the unit is a “Tow and Blow” and has a smaller range than a permanent Orchard-Rite unit.   If so, please contact Gio at SWFWMD for more information.

 

From: Gio Ijpkemeule [mailto:Gio.Ijpkemeule@swfwmd.state.fl.us]

 

I can do cold protection projects for farms located inside the Dover Plant City Water Use Caution Area (DPCWUCA). Agricultural areas located outside the DPCWUCA do not qualify for cold protection, but they DO qualify for daily irrigation projects: surface water ponds, weather stations, surface water filters, etc.

 

The FARMS program paid for 3 wind machines (Orchard-Rite) for blueberry cold protection located inside DPCWUCA. I have been looking for peach growers inside DPCWUCA that may be interested in purchasing a wind machine. If they qualify, I may be able to reimburse them up to 75% of total project cost.

 

Do you know any grower inside DPCWUCA that may be interested?
