Soils of Maryland Show Climate Shape Peach Crops
Reading from the Maryland State Weather Service summary Minon Whitney notes Western Maryland averages 53 degrees while Southern Maryland runs about 0.5 degrees higher and Southern Maryland receives about 0.25 inches more monthly rainfall. The small 36 degree annual temperature gap and rainfall difference yield marked effects on crop development including peaches where Southern Maryland peaches finish before mountain peaches and ripen weeks earlier. Similar climatic differences alter quality yield and ripening across staple crops in the two regions.
