A farmer named Mel Potter would lose 10% of his crop per year due to hail storms before he started using his hail cannon in 1995.
Since 1995, there have been no hail storms in his area.
It cost $1,000 per year to operate and it is still a fraction of the cost when compared to losing 10% of his crop on average.
In theory, it’s suppose to protect farms around the hail cannon up to a radius of half a mile.
