LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Tonightâs potential for a freeze has some local vineyard owners concerned about the crop, hoping the crops donât freeze because it damages the crop for a whole year.
One vineyard owner, Steve Newsom of English Newsom Cellars, says across all his properties, Februaryâs winter storm already delayed the growth of most of his crop by a couple of weeks.
Newsom pointed to small buds on a merlot vine, explaining that trying to save the crop with the Agrofrost machine is his only hope, saying there are other ways to fight frost but the Agrofrost machine is very convenient. It delays the growth of the grape so the frost doesnât kill it.
