Harvest is over, and as always, much has been learned from the growing season. Now is the time to finish documenting your successes and failures in your handy-dandy Hop Production Record Keeping Booklet! Did you notice that one variety seemed to do better with two bines per string vs. four bines? Or perhaps that training at a certain time resulted in better yields? Maybe you wish you had fertilized your Cascades a little more. Did you notice a couple of hills showing signs of downy mildew, and want to check back next spring to be sure to eliminate any flag shoots? Write it down now while things are still fresh in your mind, and come to the Northeast Hop Alliance Fall Hop Conference and Annual Meeting on November 5th in Troy, NY to get some new ideas for next season!
