County growers receive word to spray fruit trees including apples pears plums and cherries as tiny fruits form. The advisory notes weed and pest protection via cover sprays, timing adjusted for rainfall with emphasis on controlling scale and the first brood codling moth on apples.

Ample water lowers bloat by preventing overconsumption of clover. Free access to salt is also recommended as a preventive measure.
