This past week we have had our biggest count of Corn Earworm (CEW), 33 to be exact. To put this in perspective normal counts from farms that have been established for years typically get counts in the hundreds, so is quite low in comparison but it is still high enough that we will need to take care of it. It is also odd to get a count this high so late in the season but it does happen and instead of taking the trap down as planned, we will continue the count for another month at least.
Going to Pherm Brewing!
On July 18th Mike and Brian visited Pherm Brewing Company in Crofton Maryland! Pherm Brewing is a local craft brewery which makes, sells, and cans in their building. They collaborate with local farmers to produce fresh high quality grain and produce to be used in their brews. During this visit Mike learned all there is to know about making beer (more soecifically an IPA). It was very rewarding to see all of the hardwork that everyone put into growing the hops and peppers be used to create something new and unique. Below is a collection of photos of the beer making process and of Mike and Brian helping out Henry (Owner and operator) to make an IPA.
