until next spring, when the last few million acres of Green Giant Golden Niblets get harvested.

Or don't.

It’s official now.    Sprouting soil temp was over a month late last spring and killing hard frost was 5 days early in sw ks.   That is over a month of growing season gone for 2019.   We don’t raise average crops on any soil type on a shorter season...... even the U of ILLinois can figure that out.   Then there is flooding, replanting, abandon acres, etc etc.  usda is harvesting a very different crop that is not agricultural.  They work with an 18 month growing season.
