Hello everybody! Now is the time we watch the fruit come up in size. Everybody has a different way to run their own fertilizer plan on their marsh but this year is pretty different for everybody. Most growers have pulled back on putting large amounts of nitrogen this year due to early rapid overgrowth. It’s tough enough to get those berries on a normal year at the bottom to get decent color and good luck with that this year if you’ve got major overgrowth. Field days are this week! It’s always fun to get together as growers and see new equipment and see different marshes. Before we send the kids back to school here in a few weeks, let’s enjoy each others company and enjoy what we have left of summer. Some growers are seeing flea beetle feeding and other pests on the marsh. They can pop up really really quick so stay on top of watching for damage. Enjoy! Stay safe!
