We were able to get a couple more verification fields planted this week, and hopefully we’ll get the double crop fields planted in the next few days. Most of the fields are off to a good start, with the exception of a couple of fields that have areas that need a rain to get a stand. Weed control and irrigation will be our next hurdle to overcome in the upcoming weeks.
