Harveys Farm in Tekonsha Benefits From Wet Spring
Rose and Ron Harvey of Harvey's Farm describe a lucky spring despite widespread Midwest crop losses. Their 40 acre operation grows asparagus berries chestnuts and squash with strawberry and blueberry harvests delayed slightly by cool damp weather. They report stored corn and soybeans cushioning shortages while winter frost damaged blueberry bushes and chestnut trees. Prices rising modestly but overall they feel fortunate compared with larger farmers facing big losses.
