Is anyone doing frost protection in Aussie these days. Used to be a few and then it got very quiet. The reason for the question is there was an article in the paper a few weeks ago where a biggish Company lost a few million dollars worth of stone fruit to frost over one or two nights.
There a more than a few fruit growing companies that use fixed fans, but I do know that they don't work as well as using a helicopter.
