Henderson County Apple crops, have suffered a bit of damage due to all the heavy rain that has moved across our area recently. WHKP's Tippy Creswell spoke with Henderson County apple farmer Kenny Barnwell. Barnwell stated, that it has been extremely difficult to get in the fields to spray, fighting fireflies, right in the middle of the bloom when certain products are necessary. The torrential rain has definitely compromised what the apple farms can do. Row crop farmers have been hit especially hard, and trees have actually been down on various fields in Fletcher. Row crop planting will be a challenge. Good blooming though, at this time, and good set of fruit is predicted. Stll quite a while before picking.
