Freeze damages early peach crop in Aiken and Edgefield counties
A late March freeze devastated the earliest ripening peach varieties in Aiken and Edgefield counties, delaying the season until July. JW Yonce & Sons, with 4000 acres across three counties, says 40 to 45 percent of the crop was affected, with May and June fruit likely scarce and costly. Additional cold expected could threaten remaining trees, as officials monitor 33 degree temperatures.
