This story broke in the British press last June.  I think it is not so 
much a "benefit" as a quick thinking.  Nobody has asked what kind of 
trees they cut down to make room for these olive trees.  Possibly some 
kind which was affected worst by a lack of freezing, such as apples.  
Adapt or die, on the business level as well as the evolutionary level, I 
suppose.

The next day's Telegraph details the same grower's other plans, which 
readers of this list might find intriguing:
