** Note:
Only two harvests were collected in 2015.
After the second harvest the farm received 2.4 inch of rain |
|
on July 9th and 1.26 inch on July 12th.
This amount of rainfall following harvest resulted in stand
failure for |
|
all varieties. The field is tiled
but the soils were already saturated.
The same results happened for many |
|
producers in the NW part of Ohio this year. |
