Arkansas Tomato Crop Delayed by Cold Temperatures
Cold temperatures and wet weather conditionshave set back the Arkansas tomato deal by 10 days so far.
Farmers in Bradley County have yet to harvest their crop; however, it is still expected to make a strong showing, according to THV11.com.
"We had one cold spell after another," said Grower Julie Donnelly.
Donnelly said that when temperatures warm over the next couple of weeks, the green tomatoes will turn plump and red.
"I just get excited about it. It's a lot of hard work, and over the years, we haven't made a lot of money, but that's where the passion comes in," said Donnelly.
