FYI: have been comparing our farming costs to Fred’s.  He spends $200/acre spraying.  We spent $31k this year vs. $35k last year (1 more spray this year which was about $3k).

//////////

So we spend $458/acre.  42 tons were full spray for the season.  We did sulfur for the last 4, and full spray for first 2.

1) Agustin says Half of Block 6 doesn’t feel like it is going to ripen (north of birdhouse towards 7). He dropped some but I told him not to do anymore. 2) did not put any water on any vines this year

Also collected petioles for testing. Blocks 1,3,5 and 12. A&L Western Labs in Modesto

Collected equipment from Brelje Labs in Santa Rosa for well testing.
