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.

Here is a very sunny video clip from our demonstration field......

Today, the flowers are bowing their heads a bit and the bees and butterflies are continuing to do their work for the seeds... we have been blessed with above-freeze overnight temperatures and hopes are high for the maturing of the crop!
Our good neighbor, Mr. Heimmerich y Valencia, anticipates harvesting for us with his John Deere combine... but this is about a month away, as we guage the moisture content in the seeds before harvest.
