It appears there are no peach pies on the horizon in this part of the State. Chilton County is in danger of losing its entire peach crop if the temperatures drop as expected this weekend. This would cost the area $3-$5 million, and completely deprive southcentral Alabama of its most-revered produce (not to mention the fact that I would have very little reason to stop at the Peach Park or Durbin Farms in Clanton en route to Birmingham ... except the homemade ice cream, that is).
UPDATE: "Weekend damage rates in Chilton County ranged from 30 percent to 80 percent, depending on elevation, said Bobby Boozer, area horticulturist with the Chilton Research and Extension Center."
