Struggling with Summer Challenges:

Rob Morgan, the owner of Gower Fresh Christmas Trees, has encountered difficulties in the past due to summertime conditions.

In 2018, he lost approximately 10,000 newly grown Christmas trees to a heatwave.

Last summer also brought prolonged warm temperatures, and the current month has experienced consistent dry and sunny weather, with the last rainfall in Swansea occurring on May 9.

Investing in Rainmaking Technology:

To mitigate the impact of the ongoing dry spell, Mr. Morgan has decided to invest £22,000 in a new system.

This system allows him to simulate rainfall on his land by using a water-pumping mechanism that showers water over his crops.
