Re: Hot air?
Marv,
Sorry to hear of your disappointing season. I think all growers on this list can
sympathize with you. If it would make you feel better, I would be thrilled to
have a few three hundred pounders..... Could I make request? I would very much
be interested in the reports coming back from Penn State on your friends plants
analysis. I think the more we learn about the things that attack our plants the
better we will be able to prepare in subsequent seasons.
Hope you can turn those 300 lbrs into 600 lbrs.
