We enjoyed having the Chancellor Steinmetz’s tour visit our station yesterday. We were glad to give some insight on the work the Division of Ag conducts.

This mornings commute to work

What a difference 5 days makes.

Great to see our irrigation systems being put back in the upright position.

Who forgot to turn the irrigation system off? Measured around 14 inches of rain from Thursday night to Saturday afternoon.

Dr. Bertucci , Alden and Lesley finally got our edamame in the bag. This also was a wrap for 2019 harvest.
