Wet Weather Concerns Cherry Growers
| Quote From Source: | The wet weather is causing major concerns for cherry growers in the Central Valley, who say their crops are being destroyed.
Farmers said the conditions are the worst they've seen in seven years, and many are racing to save thousands of acres of bing cherries.
"It's hour by hour. It's not day by day, it's not week by week -- it's hour by hour," cherry grower David Miller said.

"Helicopters used to hover over the crops to dry out the cherries cost about $1,500 an hour, according to growers." |
