Rain, Rain, Rain Pins Orchard Farmer to Protect Crop
Marshall, 68, grows Gala Red Delicious and Pink Lady apples on 52 acres near Henderson County. He attributes delays and higher spray costs to rain and cool weather, yet calls his crop very good with apples packed for Apple Wedge. Weather by Marvin Owings notes Asheville’s rainfall at 52 inches in 2013, a potential record wettest year. Disaster planning includes multi-crop losses and seeking low interest loans as relief remains uncertain.
