Field Update – 12/9/19

Justin Ballew reports, “The weather was a little cooler this week. Winter brassicas are still growing well, though probably a little slower now. Insect and disease pressure remains low. Strawberries are looking good overall. There are some spidermites in places and deer damage has been significant on some farms.

Pee Dee Region

Tony Melton reports, “Strawberries are loving this weather.  Found a few spidermites.  Good many onions being planted in plastic mulch.”
