July 25, 2025: Farm Update

The corn crop has pollinated and is starting to fill the kernels now as the crop rapidly marches toward maturity.

Fungicide applications will be completed next week.

Recent rains have the crops surviving the heat well this week. The yards have greened up again so now we are mowing them again after a 10-15 day mini drought.

This week the sweet corn patch was ready and the boys set up a road side stand.
