CAI Factsheet - Evaluating the value of Voen Covers in Preventing Rain and Hail Damage

Metadata
Rain splitting and hail damage can
devastate a crop causing serious losses
of yield. Covers are used in Europe,
Chile, and Australia where rainfalls are
frequent, in an effort to help reduce splits
and subsequent rotting to maintain fruit
quality.
When you have a high-value commercial
crop, such as Rainier, it is imperative to
protect it. Factoring the costs is critical.
In addition, all the positives and negatives
of implementing the covers must be
considered.
This project helped determine the total
value of the Voen Cover system.
