episode_narrativeAn unseasonably cold April caused problems for some growers, especially fruit growers. The peach crop was especially vulnerable because mild temperatures in March resulted in early blossoms. Lows on April 18 were near 30 degrees. One orchard owner near Jackson in Cape Girardeau County called in two helicopters to fly over his orchard all night. The helicopters flew slowly through a warm layer of air 100 feet above the orchards, forcing the air down onto 23,000 apple trees. The effort was deemed a success by the orchard owner.
