Damage to Iowa fruit crops from frost near Ames
Last night's freeze hit fruit growers with varying estimates of damage. Ames horticulturalist Wheelock Wilson set potential losses around 10 to 15 percent of blooms, while others warned of heavier harm to strawberries, plums, cherries, currants, and apples. Protecting trees with wood fires in Castle Hill reportedly limited damage. observers in Cedar Falls and nearby towns noted frost on a.m. surfaces but uncertain total yield. Weather officials in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids suggested southern areas may escape major losses though northern counties faced significant frost.
