Wind machines and smoke pots

[Hummer]

One of my great uncles was in the citrus industry in Florida. Man lost 1 million dollars in one night due to a freeze that came through.

Yes, farming is a little like gambling, you can win big or lose big. When I was a young orchardist preparing to harvest a first bumper crop of apples, a hail storm moved through the valley. Like a forest fire or a tornado on the plains, the hail cut swaths and fingers of destruction shredding fruit and foliage wherever it hit. We lost 80% of our orchard crop in fifteen minutes. It was devastating.
