Hello everyone, what a wild spring Mother Nature has been dealing us this year.  We have certainly made up for loss of precipitation over the winter this spring with rain  pretty much every other day.  With that being said growers have been busy trying to time applications for herbicides and insecticides. Bug pressure has not been horrible with the cooler weather but everyone has done some type of control by now. Vines are moving along (starting to see hooks on all hybrids and some others) but with the cooler nights they seem to be slow, I’m sure when we get a few warm days we will catch right up. Getting beds ready to plant has also been a challenge but everyone is either planted or getting very close. It won’t be long and our favorite little pollinators will be arriving and the booms will be moving again.
