Do you have to mulch them or sow a cover crop there to keep weeds down or use roundup like we do here? Your production area looks really nice. Do you all have to run irrigation lines or anything like that?

Sandy, we do use Roundup a few times a year, but also my great laborers keep things tidy, but as you can see in this field behind the truck the weeds are ever-present. Irrigation comes almost daily from the bounty of the skies here, plus the sun is out and hot, so things grow well with little effort; we did have an unusual 5 month drought early this year that really hurt the plants. You really ought to drop by and see for yourself!
