It’s now in the height of agricultural season here at the Intervale in Burlington, Vermont. Corn makes for a good indicator crop because it is sensitive to nitrogen deficiencies in the soil.
Corn at Arethusa.
On Friday, July 26th, the research site at Adam’s Berry Farm was disced. It has yet to be put under a basket weeder before the corn can be planted. The re-growth post discing has delayed indicator crop plant date, which is already very late due to all the rain saturating the soil for weeks on end.
