Just a quick update - for 8-6-04
The first 2 pictures are of the Manual Cultivated plot - The sweet corn failed - and the field corn continues to struggle against the weeds. With 6 weeks growth left we should get some ears - but how many is up in the air:
The RR plot continues to do real well. The corn is 6-8 ft tall in most areas of the field and just starting to tassel & put out ears - though its hard to tell from the pictures. The deer are heavy feeding on the soybeans - but with all this cool, wet weather - they are really holding their own.
Its been quite cold here, and wet - last night was mid 40s - today's high was 63 degrees. A couple hot days or weeks would really help both corn plots along - though I wonder if we'll see it.
I'll post again in a couple weeks and summarize my project.
Thanks for looking.
