Jacob and I lifted our 899 and got it on a pallet. Surprised to see the only concern was the rotted stem. I scraped it clean, wiped it off with bleach solution, painted on Daconil and then dusted it well with sulfer. It has to last 18 days to make it to Bloomfield. I don't think we will push our luck and save it another week for Anamosa. I doubt if it will last that long. I need to rig up a tarp to keep it dry.Last measurement was August 25, taping 307", 668#. After a month off the vine, it will be lucky to make 600#, so it won't be a competitor.
