Weeds that are resistant to Velpar appear to be the biggest problem. Thick grasshoppers, but no other insect problems. Best pollination weather we've ever had. Some blight, as always. I've raked half a field and my prediction based on that raking was still 50 percent under production for that field.
Crop looks real good down east.
Mummyberry was prevalent in unsprayed fields. The wild blueberry estimating program is funded through a cooperative agreement with the Maine Department of Agriculture as a service to growers and others in the industry. The Maine Wild blueberry report is published and available on the Internet in July. The next Wild Blueberry report will be published and available on the Internet in late 2000 or early 2001. It will contain the final production statistics for the 2000 crop as collected by the Maine Department of Agriculture.
