New Mexico State University supports us in Pena Blanca

Here's a link to NMSU's photo of our Agriculture Extension Specialist in the demonstration field in Pena Blanca.

The field no longer looks so pretty ... flowers are dipping their heads and all the green and yellow has turned to brown....  However, a moisture test done this week reveals 24% moisture still in the flower heads.  This means we will have a nice, relaxed Thanksgiving week and re-test the week of November 28. 

Stay tuned!  A lot of neighbors will be turning out to watch the thrashing after the flowers are cut.
