For Tori Bradley, learning about cold weather may turn into cold hard cash for Florida blueberry growers. Bradley, a University of Florida College of Agricultural and Life Sciences graduate student, interned with faculty to develop cold-weather protection strategies so blueberry growers can save money. By using the precision method, growers can save an average of $44 per acre per season on irrigation pumping costs, depending on their location in Florida.
