We trained our hops at the Borderview Research Farm in Alburg this week (Tuesday, 5\/26) while some other hop growers reported that they completed their training on 5\/19.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that you make your own observations of hop maturity and write down when you trained each hop cultivar (down the road, we hope to have funds to conduct in-depth research on this important topic).<\/p>\n<p>When training, each string should have 3 or 4 bines. The bines should be trained clockwise as the plants grow towards the sun over the course of each day, winding themselves up the string.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that hop plants can grow 1 foot per day&#8211;that&#8217;s 6 inches before lunch! Because some varieties mature a\u00a0 little slower than others, our crew will make another sweep around the hop yard to train any later maturing plants in about a week.<\/p>\n<p>At this time of year, it is also critical to irrigate and fertilize. More on that topic coming soon. Until then, stay calm and hop on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In commercial hop yards, different cultivars are trained on specific dates in the spring.\u00a0 Depending on whether a cultivar matures early, mid-season, or late, there is typically a particular range of days for those plants to start their upward growth.
