Hail damage in San Rafael

8 years ago
We have been experiencing a lot of damaging hail the last month in our area of Las Paredes in San Rafael. The government has been financing a program to seed the cells with silver iodide, a system that the US abandoned many years ago. They are using a Russian system of rockets attached to a couple of twin engine aircraft but have been experiencing flare failures where only a few of them have been effective.

There is a study to see if financing an anti hail netting program for the many producers that would benefit from this means of protection. Our vineyard is protected from hail with this method and although it is initially expensive, we have had none but a small loss from the hail in the last ten years.

Hopefully they will come up with a low cost method of helping the many farmers here that would benefit.
