Thank you to a grower in the west central region (north of the Fruit Ridge) for sending these in! It was 53 degrees in his orchard when this was taken, so it’s tough to find bees out doing their important pollinating work.
Long before harvest, the work is happening in the soil. This Earth Day, we’re recognizing Michigan growers who care for the land that makes it all possible, season after season. 🌱🍎
Cold spring mornings in Michigan (like today) mean apple growers are out protecting orchards from frost. One key tool: frost fans (wind machines), which mix warmer air above with colder air below to keep trees warmer at ground level.

Worried about how the severe cold is impacting Michigan’s apple crop? Don’t! Cold tolerant fruit crops such as apples have dormant buds and woody tissues capable of withstanding temperatures below –30°F.
