For once my first article is not about how much ice we have left on the beds, what a crazy “winter” we sure didn’t have! Everyone up north seemed to fair the winter fairly well, there is some very minor damage on some marshes but nothing to talk about. It was a pretty tight window for sanding with the lack of cold weather this winter but everyone seemed to manage getting sand hauled.

All sprinklers are in and operational with some growers starting frost watch last week depending on what day they dropped the flood. Marshes that are renovating have vines bailed and are starting to work on the beds as they dry up. Hopefully we get a break in the wet weather this week to start applying spring herbicides.

Overall things are going well up here and we are all ready for the growing season to be upon us, now let’s just hope mother nature is on our side! I hope everyone else had a good winter and are looking forward to another wonderful, bountiful and safe year!
