Wisconsin always keeps us on our toes! Mother Nature will always do what she wants. Hopefully everybody got their sanding done like we did. On April 12th we got hit with hail like many others around the area. Some growers were flooded or in the process of flooding and might have had a better chance but most of everyone felt some damage of some sort. This will be interesting to see how the crop turns out overall here in Central Wisconsin. It’s been a long time since we had hail that bad in this area.  

Most growers have a good chunk of their pipe out already or already have it done. Still some frost in the ground in spots but that’s just how it goes. Every year we have some underground pipe either frozen or broken and in need of repair.  For those who are going to renovate some beds, the time for mowing vines is just around the corner. This time of year, there is never nothing to do! See you next time!
