Local vineyard employs new frost protection technology

A vineyard in Selma, Oregon is using a new Belgian frost protection system that emits infrared radiation to warm plants and prevent frost damage. The technology helps protect crops in temperatures as low as 22°F while reducing reliance on fuel-based heating methods. It also significantly cuts water usage by eliminating the need for frost-control sprinklers, helping vineyards conserve resources and lower costs.
