August 19th Plot Updates

This time of year - I could post every couple days, things are growing so fast.
The Main Soybean plots are filling out and the corn is earing and tassling well. The Clover plot looks as good is it can be - and the Fall planted Brassica/clover plot is coming in well - except still some grasses.

Also posted is a picture of one of the Corn Strips that did REALLY BAD. We ended up broadcasting Soybeans over it in late June - and Rye over it this weekend - to try to salvage something of the plots for the fall.







The Concord Grapes at the old Homestead (burnt in Mid -1940s) are still producing. They have taken over an apple tree and a Large Buckthorn. This year they seem particulary heavy with the milder winter last year and plenty of summer rains.
