I'll get some more pics, but we ended up with a decent crop.

You can see a bunch of the little ones taking a hit from the carbaryl.

I did a lot of hand thinning this year. You can see the hail damage from 2 years ago on this Liberty .....

Frost took care of thinning for me this year. I think I found about 8-10 apples on 40-50 trees on my farm today. Can't stop mother nature I guess. :(

The lucky survivors were on Goldrush and Frostbite. I'm feeling the bite alright!

I thought I was going to have a lot less too, but it wasn't real bad, perhaps 50% loss. Just a good thinning.

Same here with Mother Nature doing my thinning for me but certain varieties did well so I will have some apples. George you better get the mower out. That grass looks pretty tall lol

You can't tell by the pic, but that is a real nice stand of clover, chicory and alfalfa, but ya it needs a haircut! Lot's of apples on those Galarina's behind this big girl.

Looks like she is carrying. Better be careful when giving that clover a cut

For sure. I saw my first fawn last week when I was mowing. It was so small I thought it was a cat
