 Mother nature came through with 2.5" of rain, (yes a little late) but we will take it.  We are about 10" below our normal for this time of year and it has greatly affected our winter cover crops.   Did you spot us on News 12 this week?  We made a little appearance with Isl1 read more »

We did it!  We set the record for the driest October since the year 1362 I believe.  Yes I just made that up, but I may be right.  We did enjoy this gorgeous warm weather the latter half of the week and their looks to be more next week.   Next week is a big week for America1 read more »

We are past the halfway point of October and a lot of the farm fields are coming to the end and are being prepared for the 'winter slumber,' and planted with cover crops.  Its a slow push for us in harvesting the potatoes, besides for the typical breakdowns (you better be following on Instagra1 read more »

Another dry week is in the books, and I don't like it.  It is the driest we have ever seen during potato harvest time, and we are close do doing the unthinkable, irrigate the fields before harvest.  It is what it is and we will get by.  Also, did you see the Northern lights this week1 read more »
