Right back at you. Hope your weather gives you a break this year, and straightens out enough to get out a good crop.

We are trying. Have 2 dryland plots, one looks good but could sure use a drink, the other looks like it will make about 1/2 the normal crop. A third field is under a pivot sprinkler and looks better, hoping no frost damage.

Local crop insurance agent told me he expects 10% of the planted crop to be harvested. The rest will be disastered.

Last year we made 1/2 normal crop and had some carryover in bins. Barely had enough to cover our old customers.

I do spend time in my orchard and garden. That produce is not for sale, but for consumption by family and friends.
