A local orchard in Kelowna receives much needed assistance from the air, as a helicopter hovers over the cherry trees to help blow moisture away. Excess moisture can cause the cherries to split and can damage the entire crop!
The risk to the cherries comes when they are almost ready to harvest and sudden heavy rain or hail happens. We received a fair amount of rain this past week and some orchardists have hired helicopters to disperse the moisture from crops around the Okanagan Valley.
