Over the years, frost has cost Florida's farmers millions of dollars in crop damage. Panhandle Helicopter can help you save your crops from frost. By slowly sweeping over your crops stirring the warmer air layered above the crops, we can help save your fields from economic loss. Helicopters are usually effective for frost protection for up to 50 acres at a time. If your crops are your livelihood and damage to them could mean the loss of your income for the year, helicopter frost protection may be an option for you to consider. Weather conditions will dictate whether or not a helicopter can be effective for frost protection. Cold, windless nights when the radiant heat loss and warmer layering of air above, and colder air near the surface of the ground, cause the frost to settle on the crops are the conditions that a helicopter can help provide protection. A helicopter is not effective on windy nights and a hard freeze. If you have questions, feel free to call and discuss your options. Don’t wait until the night of the forecasted frost to call.
