“They paid for themselves in one year.”

We farm 150 acres of pistachios at an elevation of 4,500 feet. We put in nine Orchard-Rite wind machines in February and experienced severe temperature drops in April. Without these machines, I’m sure we would have lost 80% of our crop.

It’s a no brainer to use wind machines in this part of the country. Almost all of the pistachio farmers in our area use Orchard-Rite wind machines. When it comes to frost protection, I don’t know of anything that preforms as well as their wind machines.
