Fruit growers in northern Utah say the spring snow storms are a double-edged sword: They're good for the snowpack after years of drought, but they're also delaying the orchards' spring schedules.
“On our farm, it’s certainly helped us with our reservoir levels,” McMullin said. “I’m afraid if we hadn’t had this snowpack that we’ve had this year, the drought would’ve continued and we would’ve been restricted on how much water we can use.”
The fruit harvest, Riley said, will come later than they expected. “With the vegetables, it could get a little trickier on working the ground and getting the crops planted,” he said, adding that they don’t plant them right away because of fear of potential frost.Rileys’ delivers cropsthe state. One problem Rileys’ and other growers face because of the extended snowfall, Riley said, is bumping up against grocery stores’ marketing and selling seasons.
Still, Riley said, he is happy to deal with a winter like this one — because as farmers, ranchers and a state, he said we “desperately needed this.”
