Frost Protection is Investment Protection
There's more at stake than just fruits and vegetables!
To many growers, frost season is a most stressful time of year. The potential for
a freeze is always there. But, will it occur? And, if temperatures fall, will
the frost protection devices perform? Living in an atmosphere of possible disaster
is a grower's life.
While insects and drought can take their toll of a crop, and market conditions can
quickly trim a profit, only a freeze can create a total loss in less than 12 hours.
Then, there's that feeling of helplessness as you watch forces beyond your control
destroy all that you've worked to create. A frost means more than just losing some
fruit and vegetables ... it can threaten financial security.
Wind machines ... a way to fight back.
Although wind machines were in limited uses as early as 1916, it was during field tests
at the University of California at Riverside in 1950-1952 that the wind machine proved to
be the most effective frost fighting tool available. It remains today the most
economically efficient means of frost protection.
Think of Amarillo as frost insurance.
Nowadays, a wind machine is like an insurance policy. It stands ready to protect
your crops. It helps a grower control those forces that were previously beyond his
control. It helps him fight back. It helps him cut losses. It helps him
succeed. And, because a wind machine is so important, it just makes good sense to
get the best wind machine insurance you can ... an Amarillo Wind Machine.
