" ® "We believe in Orchard-Rite® wind machines because they have delivered excellent protection and dependable service. We tried a different brand of machine a while back and found that the coverage and reliability was not what we had experienced with our Orchard-Rite® machines. Since then, we have purchased only OrchardRite® machines." Scott McDougall General Manager/Orchard Operations www.goodfruit.com Cascade Wind Machine Service 1615 W.

It reduces the likelihood of machines being started 20 minutes late due to a sudden drop of temperature that was missed by the frost protection staff." Bob Murphy Operations Manager/ Columbia Basin Orchards McDougall & Sons are now adding this option to every new Orchard-Rite® machine they purchase, and have begun retrofitting this equipment to their machines in cold and isolated areas.
