The last week on the campus farm has been very rewarding. Even though challenges remain, the stress of those challenges is becoming manageable.

Some overcast days and scattered rain have made working conditions a bit easier on some days lately. A few of the high tunnels are almost back to presentable conditions now.

Rain stopped around June and only a few significant rains have happened since then. Watering takes a lot of the farm staff’s hours. When I can find time I try to piece together drip irrigation zones out of scattered pieces. Some of the irrigation is left over from specialty crop grant tests so the parts […]
