[Untitled]In the Spring of 2011 we added another three acres of hops, this time it was on a
low-trellis system, similar to a vineyard, but still taller at 10'. Once
again we are privileged to be working on another grant study program,
this time with SARE. With this hop trial we will be working with on a new and promising semi-dwarf variety. This farm has the first commercial short-trellis hopyard in Michigan and our studies will hopefully allow farmers to put in hopyards faster and cheaper. These yards are based on rows that are North and South with 11' rows and poles that are 30' apart.       |
