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.
http://photo.nmsu.edu/public/photo/details/?id=24661
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.
