Sweet corn harvest winding down. European corn borer trap catches are increasing. Summer squash harvest is over. We ve had an outstanding yield and quality this year, with few disease problems. Earlier heat caused a lot of blossom drop, delaying pepper harvest in many fields.
Harvest is underway with generally good quality.
Potato vine killing is underway for the past two weeks. Growers are planning to start storing in mid-September. Early digging for shipments out of the field has generally been slower than desirable. Yields and quality have been good. Growers are continuing to apply protectant sprays on later fields as we continue to accumulate late blight severity values.
