Comments

All varieties are at the wire. Plants are still in vegetative stage with side arms forming. Pests have been light so far this season. Downy mildew also has been very light to non-existent. May and June were abnormally dry, but not as dry as other areas of the Lower Peninsula. Hops are on track.
