Peach growers in Fredericksburg have been irrigating their trees for weeks because they have only received 5.5 inches of rain since the start of the year. The fruit is small and is not ripening. Low production prompted the owner to forego self-peach-picking this year.
Another area farmer stated that the dry conditions led to low product and caused him to close his business for the season.
