It's Much Harder with a Crop like Apples

It's much harder with a crop like apples, for example, that the growers just don't have overhead irrigation in place like we typically see in Florida. When they have frost we'll see the trees just covered in ice. We don't have that set up here because we don't typically face that sort of frost threat in our tree fruits.
