HART, Mich. (AP) - If he can just make it through the end of May without another freeze, fruit grower Dave Rennhack expects to have a good crop this year.
"We don't breathe real easy until after Memorial Day," said Rennhack, the owner of a Hart orchard and farm market that bear his family name.
Michigan is a national leader in the production of apples, blueberries, wine and juice grapes, and tart and sweet cherries. Most of the state's $275 million fruit crop is grown within about 20 miles of Lake Michigan, because of its moderating effect on the weather, and in southernmost Michigan.
