It took me quite a bit of time to pin down what I wanted to talk about in this week’s column, and to be completely honest, I’m still not sure as I begin writing that I truly know what shape this will take. I have several things I am watching and several thoughts running through my head as I work to help my growers plot out how they would like to market their crops in the upcoming months.
Every year as the crop starts to get planted, I like to think back through all the growing seasons I have faced so far. I remember the challenges, the changes, the things I didn’t see coming, the mistakes. I think a lot about the mistakes—not because I’m trying to be hard on myself (I can do that without trying) but because I want to make sure I am aware enough to see the signs I may have missed the first time around.
