220.3 DeBacco ’13 “Snowball” (F: 2009 Wallace x M: 1725 Harp [2009 Wallace] clone)

Seed was placed in the propagation chamber on April 22nd and it was planted in the cold frame on May 4th

This one was easy for me to select to plant as I think this cross is unique and offers some of the finest two thousand plus pound genetics going. If you want to see what I went through this winter to get to this stage check out earlier postings in my dairy. It is nice when a plan comes together that I started back in November.

As you can see the area around the plant has a lot of weeds and this was done on purpose. The weeds were allowed to grow (even though they will be pulled out later) so the roots and exudates they produce can help increase the soil biology around the initial plant site.
