Tater Tales July 18th

What’s growing at the farm this week?  The potatoes are thriving with all the rain this summer. They are sizing up nicely and it looks like we should be on track to start selling them in early August.  The sweet corn is not as far along as we would like to see given the very cold and rainy start to the summer, but rest assured it will eventually be ready to eat.  The winter wheat is close to maturity, even the sections that were knocked down earlier this summer.  John finally made the first cut of hay and we can only hope the rains hold off for a few days so it can dry properly.   So the farming trade off continues….what’s good for one crop may not necessarily be ideal growing conditions for another crop.  You can visit our “Production Gallery” to see more photos of our crops growing as well as the equipment we use.
