Palisade, Colo.

It was 17 degrees Monday night in Palisade, and peach farmers were out saving what they could with wind fans. Both Bruce Talbott, an area farmer, and town officials agree it’s too early for an official crop damage total, but they say it hasn’t been this bad since the spring of 1999. This freeze continues to create major headaches for farmers and other businesses that have an interest in seeing them succeed.

Talbott said, “The cold weather has left $7 million in damage.” Local farmers add that one third of the area’s peach crop is dead, and half of Talbott’s cherry crop is also gone. When it comes to apricots, they might be hard to find altogether.
