Growing Georgia had an interesting video this week on the current harvest of blueberries that is underway now in the southeast part of the state, centered on Alma. The featured grower noted that damage from wind and hail in a recent severe storm damaged about one percent of his crop due to blemished fruit. But he said that the volume of blueberries should be plenty to provide consumers with ample fruit this season. This is great news for farmers, who were concerned earlier this season with possible frost damage from some cold conditions. I especially enjoyed looking at the mechanical harvesters for blueberries, which were new to me.
