RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. -- After a spring freeze ruined most of her peach crop last year at Millstone Creek Orchards, Beverly Mooney was looking forward to this season.

• The large amount of rain has caused many of the peaches to split after taking too much water
• Some broken branches could take as many as 10 years to grow back
• Millstone Creek is discounting prices to try and sell as many as they can before the next storm

"Our peaches, I kid you not, is the best crop I've seen ever here. It'll rank as an all-time high if I can move these remaining peaches," she said.

Moving them out is now the issue. Recent summer thunderstorms have caused multiple problems.

The large amount of rain has caused many of the peaches to split after taking too much water. The high winds have broken off branches and blown ripe peaches to the ground. Some broken branches could take as many as 10 years to grow back.

"They have to go in and prune out those dead and eventually diseased areas of the plant. Just creates more labor for them," Will Strader said. He is the Rockingham County Extension Director for the N.C. Cooperative Extension.

With many peaches hitting ripeness right now, Millstone Creek is discounting prices to try and sell as many as they can before the next storm.

If they aren't picked and sold, there's the risk the next gust of wind will ruin them.

"It is absolutely move it or lose it," Mooney said.
